Nick Smith said "Suddenly, we are living in a new world. This attack on the United States is worse than the Pearl Harbor of the past. Then, a known enemy struck at a far-away naval base. Now, an unclear enemy has struck against the heart of the nation. Innocent civilians were turned into weapons, and innocent civilians were the targets and the victims. It was unspeakable brutality and terror. It could not have been worse. This was the day we will all remember. This was the day the world changed. For 10 years, we have been living in the optimism after the fall of the Evil Empire and a new freedom around the world. Now, a new Evil has struck. A new war will be waged across world. It will never be the same." @ PoliticalQuotes.com

Suddenly, we are living in a new world. This attack on the United States is worse than the Pearl Harbor of the past. Then, a known enemy struck at a far-away naval base. Now, an unclear enemy has struck against the heart of the nation. Innocent civilians were turned into weapons, and innocent civilians were the targets and the victims. It was unspeakable brutality and terror. It could not have been worse. This was the day we will all remember. This was the day the world changed. For 10 years, we have been living in the optimism after the fall of the Evil Empire and a new freedom around the world. Now, a new Evil has struck. A new war will be waged across world. It will never be the same.
