A conversation in my classroom today on 9/11

"miss, how can anyone be sure it was Osama bin laden who gave the order for the twin towers?"
"well, I don't know. What do you think?"
"I am not sure"
"there are those who think it was a conspiracy"
"I just don't know how they are sure"
"I know what I am sure of "
"what is that Miss."
"I am sure that at least for your generation, that whenever you go to the u Ted states that people will always think terrorist when they see you. And besides the horrible death, that is the real shame of 9/11"
"Really Miss, that was ten years ago"
" but for many people in the US, it seems like yesterday"
(pause) "oh"
