Nations (Despite US Arrogance) Must Unite to Combat Terrorism

Ann McFeatters, Washington bureau chief of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Toledo Blade presents to readers that the War on Terrorism is a world-wide fight. With this I agree. However, Ms. McFeatters states, "After sporadic acts of terrorism, the war began in earnest with the heinous rush-hour attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, that killed 3,000 people." This displays the arrogance of the people of the US. Terrorism has been occuring since the beginning of time. Nations around the world have had to deal with horrific acts against humanity for decades. But it was not until such a terrible thing happened on US soil, did the US give serious thought to dealing with terrrorism. As long as it was happening "over there," the US really could have cared less about damaged lives. Isn't it a shame that this is the attitude of many?
