I feel very bad for our country; it is getting messed up. War is a bad thing. People die who don’t deserve to die.

I feel bad about what happened, but I feel better about how they’re rebuilding [Afghanistan and Iraq].

I think a lot of people die [in the wars] but I am happy because people do it for the U.S.A.

It was a bad idea for planes to crash into buildings. I think it’s bad because people die.

What I think of the 9/11 tragedy is that it was a very depressing moment because hundreds of people died. I think it is sad how such beautiful buildings were knocked down. It is horrible how people are now experiencing consequences of the terrible 9/11.
Gabriel Ortega, 9
