Connection Across Time...

On December 7, 1941, 2,887 Americans died when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Many of the sailors were trapped, being on the lowest part of the ship and when it was attacked, they had no where to go. Sadly, America lost a lot of good men and women during that day. Once Pearl Harbor happened, America decided that World War II had gone too far and needed to end before any more lives were taken. America dropped two a-bombs, fat man and little boy, in Japan and it ended the war.
On September 11, 2001, America was again attacked but not by the same people. Terrorists from Iraq had flown planes into American cities which crashed into different buildings of very populated and important places such as the Twin Towers in NYC. After this attack, Bush sent us into war in Iraq so we could get terrorists who would attack America again and those who ordered the attacks. Today, we are still in war with Iraq, even though we do use a-bombs to help out. The connection across time is, a country can be in the same situation many times... but the solution to ending a war will not always be the same every time. When we bombed Japan, WWII ended... When we bombed Iraq, the war continued.
