Anniversary Of September 11

Yes, its already the anniversary of the day that forced the US to act. The day that made many Americans tremble with fear. A day marked by grieving and loss. But it wasn't the mass loss of life that hit people the hardest, there was a hurricane that swept through the bahamas not long after that killed far more people than the September attacks did. The thing that marked that day as being unique, was that many Americans realized that there are people and even countries who don't like them, who even hate them, and want to hurt them. On that day, when that plane struck one of New Yorks major symbols, the realization struck home to many Americans. The question raised was "Who and Why would anyone want to do this to us?"

This realization forced the president to act. Thus the war on terror began. We listened to the news reports, telling us of the invasion into Afghanistan, and then into Iraq.

And my question is this. Isn't war a form of terrorism?
