Dear Mr. who was next to me during 9/11

Even though it is close to seven years since that time I will forever remember and think about what you said that day. Maybe because I was young and not mentally up to date with the world it had a bigger effect on me than it would have had people who are older and more experienced than I. But the years I have grown into an older and more knowledgeable person, and I have become skilled at making my own opinions. Now I feel like your reaction, weather it were true or not, was wrongly influenced and completely biased. It was fueled purely by your hate and anger at what had just occurred. Your blinded rage led you to the conclusion that we should act in the worse most devastating way and that would be by bombing them. However what you must realize is that if we had done that then I am 100% sure that we would have hit innocents but I'm not completely sure we would have hit the guilty. Now that I am older I can see a little of where you are coming from and when i think about that time I feel anger and hatred and feel like we should use violence as the first answer. If not for you maybe this would not be my first thought but sadly we'll never know.
