  23. Terrorism Reflections -Munich Olympic Massacre is very unforgettable because for once its doesn’t really involve America in it. And also I learned that it was an terrorist attack towards middle east people, so I thought it was interesting of how that happened. Kidnapping of Daniel Pearl made me jaw drop, because I found out that he was killed for no reason. He got killed because he was a American. I feel so bad for him because he had a great life writing for a big company of newspaper and they just killed him like that, and also there are videos of him because killed. Transatlantic aircraft plot actually happened not a long time ago. I remember watching television and the news had airports shown with people in long lines. So in a way I can connect to this event, like I know what was happening. Also now a days you can’t bring any liquid onto the airplane, and they have all other rules about it. -I would like to know more about Daniel Pearl because his death is very sad. And I want to know why he was the one that got kidnapped. I have a lot of questions about him. Also I want to learn more about BeslanSchool Massacre. I know that there were a lot of child and adults killed, but I still have many questions about it. Like why did the terrorist pick that school and what really went on at that moment, and what did Germany do after that event happened. -I think all the countries that got attack needs to united and make the terrorist stop and be afraid. Do something very big to those terrorist countries that there is no way for them to stand up or get back up again.
