Our country was formed based on values and beliefs. On 9/11/01, terrorists attacked us and put our values and beliefs to the test. Sadly, they won. They won as they watched us react rather than act. We reacted by passing new laws that were contradictory to those we value. We gave up our rights and our freedoms. Now, by our allowing ourselves to resort to torture, we have further eroded what we stand for as a Nation. On 9/11/01, terrorists attacked our Country. Since then, they have watched happily as they see America begin working toward its demise. If this continues our great grandchildren and even our grandchildren may no longer have a United States to call their home.
