It’s hard to believe that the worst terror attack on American soil in the history of our country happened 18 years ago this week.It’s also hard to believe how much the actions of 19 radical Muslim terrorists on that September day has had on our lives since then. Reaction to the attacks has turned flying in to an experience as enjoyable as a root canal.We now need a passport to cross the Canadian border to go to a gambling casino in Windsor.Far more serious consequences have been suffered by hundreds of Americans who’ve lost family members in battles in confrontations abroad that have followed the events of September 11, 2,001.  I hope students in our schools are being taught about the events of 18 years ago, about the group responsible for the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans and the hatred for our way of life that fueled their desires to kill us, but I fear that may not be the case. If we don’t learn lessons from the past, we won’t be well prepared to deal with the future.That’s the way I see it.
