The video I have chosen is one that I felt best summed up the way in which the United States took the tragedy, that being one of resolve and commitment to avenging the deaths. Rudy Giuliani used it as an ad campaign, and the way in which he speaks of the children and grand children of the Greatest Generation (1939 - P) who won the greatest war to date, warms the hearts of Americans, and those who watched a superpower, temporarily, brought to its knees.
The attacks on the World Trade Centre has left an inedible mark on the United States, a stinging blow that hit so deep, one believed they would never again ignore the long held troubles of most nations in the world. It has become apparent that they have not learnt well enough, but one thing lies clear, on that day the hate of the world for America hit its shores, something not seen since Pearl Harbour. Islam claimed the responsibility, and the United States chased after them, along with its western allies. Now it seems the world grows tied of chasing, and America now runs not to avenge its fallen men and women, but restore its own sense of superpower status. What know one has mentioned is that seems to have been ebbing for some time.
