9/11: A Tragic Turning Point

On September 11, 2001, the world watched in horror as terrorists attacked the United States, which hijacked commercial planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington DC. Known as 9/11, this tragic event marked a turning point in international politics and ushered in a new era of security concerns.

The attack on the World Trade Center from the two towers killed thousands and left a deep scar in America's heart. The smoke rising from the Petronas Twin Towers and the people jumping to their deaths from the towers remind me of the old days for those who watch the events in real-time.

The effects of 9/11 were felt not only in the USA but all over the world. With the US and its allies operating in Afghanistan and Iraq, it led to a global war on terrorism. 9/11 also led to a focus on national security as governments around the world introduced new laws and regulations to prevent future attacks.

In addition to its immediate impact on international security and politics, the events of September 11 also had a significant cultural impact. Protests led to the freedom of love in the United States, and the flag has become a symbol of national unity and resistance.

The event also inspired many movies, books, and songs, and the artists used their skills to reflect on the event and its aftermath.

Twenty years later, the effects of 9/11 are still alive. Since that fateful day, the world has changed a lot with new threats and problems emerging. Yet the lessons of 9/11 continue to shape our approach to security and diplomacy as we work to build a safer, more peaceful world.
In conclusion, September 11 is a tragic event that shook the whole world and had great repercussions. It led to a focus on security and defense, fueled the global war on terror, and fueled political and artistic thought. Although the world has changed a lot since then, the legacy of 9/11 still shapes our attitudes toward security and international politics today.
