Our Perspective ... 9-11: ‘All the world [was] our stage’

   That Tuesday looked more like a nuclear winter than the normal hustle and bustle we’re supposed to see in New York.
   Hundreds of miles removed, safe on our mountaintop campus, we watched in horror as the scenes were replayed throughout the day.
   Never had our generation witnessed such an attack on our home soil.
America’s eyes were open and we were at the realization that the freedom we have all taken for granted came at a price few of us were willing to pay.


Many Americans do not want War with Iraq

   At the one-year anniversary of 9-11, President George W. Bush is on the brink of war with Iraq.
In the past year, W’s finger has gradually shifted from Osama bin Laden, to the Taliban, to the “Axis of Evil” (which included Iraq) and now to Saddam Hussein, the man who gave his father so much trouble a decade ago.
Did 9-11 actually change anyone’s outlook?

   One year ago, we watched in horror as the World Trade Center collapsed onto the smoky streets of New York City. One year ago, some shed tears and some of us circled Sanford Mall united in prayer without thought to the person at our side’s race, denomination or lifestyle. One year ago, some of us called our parents just to tell them we loved them.
So, what are we doing now?
