Have the events of 9/11 caused you to look at your own culture differently?

Because of the events of 9/11, I think of my culture differently because there are a lot of dangerous people.  You should trust no one except your very closest friends.  I think about 9/11 if I was going to go to New York or when the anniversary comes up.  I didn't realize it because I didn't understand 9/11 till I was about 9 years old, but I later realized we were a strong, fearless country that wasn't going to give up without a fight.
