9/11 Is Over

Parshang Khakpour

Thomas Friedman, brings a statement of former New York City Mayor, Rudy Giuliani saying" I will usher in a bold new 9/11 for all" and that he had aimed to run the President of 9/11.

But this statement made the writer to laugh. He believes such statements shows the nature of the U.s after 9/11 as "Fighting Terrorism". According to the writer, The United States need to another president who passed 9/11 and does not run for it.

Respecting to the people killed on that day he argues that American policy to 9/11 was not suitable, and they didn't recognize the enemey as well as themselves.American's opennes is gone away and has becomes a society full of fear and isolation.

Looking at Guantanamo Bay different from what U.S. represent it for people of the world, as somewhere just for visitors who don't give the right answers at immigration.Guantanamo, as he believes, is" the anti_Statue of Liberty".

When he speaks of openness is lost after 9/11, he means in someway , the lose of millions of overseas visitors after 9/11.Total business arrivals to the U.S. have decreased by 10% during 2004_5 period alone.

By bringing some examples of economical weakness in the United States after 9/11, the writer led to the fact that 9/11 should be over in U.S., Because it's destructing U.S. policy , economy and making the U.s isolated and suppressed.

According to the writer of the article, uniting around a common enemy is not the solution for ending the problem. 9/11 and Al Qaeda should be over in American policy makers and Americans' mind.

They should recognize they real enemy "their stupidity". Looking for Mass Destructive Weapon, they made another war, now in Iraq, and paid a lot of cost on it. It seems that the are continuing their wrong path.
