On September 11, 2001 America's eyes were opened to the world beyond our bubble.. We finally realized horrible things are happening everywhere and they can happen to America. Now five years after this many other attacks have happened, including an explosions in Tunisia in 2002, a car bomb outside Pakistan in 2002, in 2002 a bombing in Indonesia, again in 2002 a suicide attack in Kenya, in 2003 4 bomb sent out ins Morocco to kill Belgian's, Jew's, and Spanish people, in 2004 the kidnapping and death of Paul Johnson, London's subway bombing in 2005, and some others.
