Do you fear another attack?

What was that quote from Churchill? "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Actually, I believe it was President Franklin D. Roosevelt that said that.

I think you need to look a little closer to home for that quote.

My bad. I looked it up, from his 1933 Inaugural speech. Thanks Imagineer.

Jon Voight does a great version of that speech in "Pearl Harbor"!

You beat me to it Dave, thats all I was thinking about as I read the posts.

Anyway, do I fear another attack...NO.

Fear is powerful tool, and while some higher ups in the world (no mentioning any names) love to use FEAR to get what they want, I for one will not blind myself with fear.

FEAR of Terrorism....NOPE :brick:

There should be no defenseless people in USA, cause last time I checked the USA has the best Military in the world...WHY WERE THE PEOPLE DEFENSELESS (on 9/11) IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!???!!!!

Kind of makes you wonder. :lookaroun

I choose to honor the memories of all those who lost their lives in this event....not bring any attention to those who caused it...or those who let it happen.

Read the signature for more words of wisdom. And lets hope we have the strength to remove the blindfold that is often placed before our eyes.

Yes, quite true.

However Winston Churchill did once say this and I think it's a sentiment that is as true in recent times as it was when he said it in 1941.

"We are still masters of our fate. We are still captain of our souls."

Today we should still remember this, be we British, American, French or Iraqi. 4 races I chose for a mixture of reasons, though that is by no means an indication that any other race of people should be excluded from that sentiment.

We, as a worldwide community, are the only people who can put an end to this madness. Though the methods by which the humanb race attempts to rid itself of the menace of war, death and destruction is quite possibly NOT the ones we should be adopting.

I guess I would be lying if I said no. I think I do from time to time. I can't live every minute of my life in fear and I can't worry about it every minute of my day. I refuse to live that way. I do not want another attack to happen and I hope we are all being protected and all precautions are being taken like they say. I just can't live my life waiting or fearing.

I would have to say, I do not fear another attack. I feel that, yes, we will be attached sometime again. But I do not live my life day to day in fear.

Fievel...what you said about what 9-11 did for you...very touching. I am there with you with #1-3 & #5. For me, my faith grew that much stronger because of 9-11. It feels just like yesterday that it all happened. I can remember everything that I did that day. Where I was when I found out....how I found out....how my day at school went. Everything that you can't remember about a normal day, I remembered from that day. God Bless this great country we live in!

If we spent our lives living in fear of another attack...the terrorists would have won.

Well, a recent poll found that 55% of american's believe another attack may happen soon. That's down from 68% not too long ago, but it shows that though we may not FEAR attack, we still are weary that one may happen.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was another attack but it's not something I stay up all night worrying about. If it happens, it happens.

I am not american, but I watched the terrible events live and it still makes me tear when I see images from that day or think how worried and terrified I was for my friends there. I do fear for another attack, but I try not to think about it and pray that it never happens again. Not only for that, but also for world peace to finally be a reality some day soon.

I hope so too Maria, and thanks for the support, it means a lot.

Hmm..if you had asked if I thought there would be another attack at some point, I would have to say that, yes, I do think that without a doubt. But do I FEAR one? No, I do not. I refuse to live my life in fear. Terrorists thrive on fear, and I refuse to feed them thru it.
