If so, how?
What could we do different to catch Osama?
Why wont Pakistan allow us to hunt for him? Is this really cooperation?
Does Pakistan patrol its skies? Does it have an airforce?
Why would we have had many intelligence officers/spys in that area if it is so remote?
Just questions I have.

It has made me aware of the world-wide threat of terrorism. I was shocked to know how wide spread AlQuaida is all over the world.
It opened my eyes to how vulnerable we are.

Yes it's changed my life. Because of 9/11 and the attack on my country, a member of my family is on his way to a land far away to defend the freedom we enjoy. Because of this, my grandson is having night mares..today he saw a group of soldiers in their uniforms and began to scream because his solider daddy was not in that group..the little 3 year old does not understand nor will he ever understand why Daddy is gone from him..my daughter cries more, has to do the job of her absent husband and father for his boys.
It's changed my life because my very young nephew had to watch his soldier friend die from the enemy fire..my friend's son in law was shot up and is now on the long road to recuperation.
9/11 has changed us..all of us.

Yes
My cousin was in Bagdad, as many others have been, fighting the war on terrorism.
When I fly I have to be screened much more closely. I only fly about once a year, but now I have to be screened, take my shoes off, etc. I might add though this is a small price to pay.
A bit of all of our innocence has gone. Last night I was watching a program on the World Trade Center and listened to survivors giving their stories. Never did I think of a group of people using a commerical airliner as a missle.
The date, 9-11, will affect all of us for quite some time to come.
This does, however, remind me that we must all be ready to meet Jesus. What struck me as I was watching tv last night was when a man that was in an elevator alone and when the electricity went off he was able to pry open the elevator door and walk out. He said he entered that building on a beautiful fall day, and exited into mass destruction.

9/11 has changes my life. I have learned to cherish each moment with my family, as we may not have tomorrow, because someone wants to fly planes into buildings or blow up a bridge.
I was on a leave from work due to PTSD. I worked as a medic for 10 years. After watching the events unfold on TV, my husband (who was also a medic) was placed on standby to go work the rescue/recovery at ground zero. I never went back to work as a medic again.
I lost a great friend due to 9/11. He was in charge of debriefing the families and friends of the emergency workers at ground zero. He worked 18 hour days, 7 days a week doing this for quite some time. Stress gets to you though. He had a heart attack and died. He never once gave up on helping the families, or the workers while he was there.
9/11 has changed my life.

If so, how?
Not really. I rarely fly, and that is where there would be the most impact.

It hasn't changed my life that much. I determined somewhere around 9/12/01 that if we allowed it to change us, then the terrorists win.
