If anyone had said 8 1/2 yrs ago that the first major construction built near 'ground zero' in Manhattan...?

How soon they forget most who say yes where and maybe still are children 9 years ago. We stood on 9/12 untied, Bush could of nuked Afghanistan and no one would have complained except any survivors in Afghanistan. Everyone can tell you what they were doing when the attack came.

That day changed things, and even Pelosi , Kerry, and Ted Kennedy supported the war, and stood on the Capitol steps and sang God Bless America.

It would be hard to do, since there is no such thing as a "ground zero mosque." If you mean construction of a community center three blocks away, it would not be a matter of supporting, but rather not protesting, since I'm aware that Islam did not attack the WTC. I might listen t Two weeks after the attack: Islam is peace.

These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war. Three weeks after the attack: There are thousands of Muslims who proudly call themselves Americans, and they know what I know — that the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion.

The exact opposite of the teachings of the al Qaeda organization, which is based upon evil and hate and destruction. Two months after the attack: All of us here today understand this: We do not fight Islam, we fight against evil. 2001: The war against terrorism is not a war against Muslims, nor is it a war against Arabs.

It’s a war against evil people who conduct crimes against innocent people. One-year anniversary: Millions of our fellow citizens are Muslim. We respect the faith.

We honor its traditions. Our enemy does not. Our enemy doesn’t follow the great traditions of Islam.

They’ve hijacked a great religion.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
