9/11 Anniversary

As we approach another anniversary of the attacks on the US, I would like you to give me some input.

Do you think that the United States is better today than it was on September 10th, 2001?

Have the attacks and the resulting “War Against Terror” made us a better Nation, or made the people within it better people?

Do you think that the “War Against Terror” is doing what it was supposed to, or do you thing that in the course of the last couple years we have lost our direction or purpose?

What are the feelings towards Muslims and Islam today, and how are they different than that of September 10th, 2001?

I am not trying to create arguments or fuel a fire, but I would like to get the opinion of others on this.
