9/11-Class today and this week's blog post

In class today we took a bit of a detour from our discussions about free speech in school and began the film 7 Days in September in order to commemorate and consider the anniversary of the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.  For your blog post for this week, please consider the following:

1. Any thoughts, reflections, commentary on 9/11 and the film we watched in class.
2. Watch President Obama's speech from last night regarding military engagement with ISIS.   
3. Consider that the United States has been a nation at war for most of your lives.  What does this mean?  How has it impacted your lives or your vision of what America is?  What issues are raised as a result?  What do you think of the plans that President Obama outlined in his speech? Do you support them or not?  Why not?
