I was in college in Queens, waking up early for an activities fair with my fraternity. Since our campus was on a hill, from the top of my dorm you could see the NYC skyline. We heard about the first plane on the news and I ran upstairs to the roof. A group of 20 of us all saw the 2nd plane hit...

Activities fair was called off, classes were cancelled, but people were too paralyzed to even leave campus. We didn't know what to do or think. Our cell phones were dead, people were crying..panicked.

We stayed glued to the TV, watching, waiting for someone to tell us what the fuck was going on. A group of 20 of us sat in front of the TV for hours transfixed and silent.

Then the towers fell...My frat brother was on the emergency response unit in lower Manhattan. I hoped he would be ok. As a native Brooklynite I prayed for all my buddies in the neighborhood who worked downtown - NYPD, FDNY, Port Authority.

The list of the dead was overwhelming. Every day in the papers and on the news we heard the stories..families looking for their relatives, cops and firemen missing, the smell - the heartbreak we all felt.

If you were in NY and grew up in the city too, it was almost too much to take. I'll never forget that day and the feeling that consumed us all.

My father's doorstep in Brooklyn was covered with 2 solid inches of soot and debris. I saw the cars being towed to Staten Island covered in soot and crushed from pieces of the falling towers. There were constant reminders everywhere.

Since then, I think much of the country has forgotten what really occured that day. We were under an administration of dirty politics and policies, no accountability, no sense, no morals and no responsibility. The man who organized these attacks is still out there, roaming free. A big hole sits where those magnificent towers once stood - a testament to politics as usual.

What have we really learned?

We were lied into a war by a totally inept administration that played to people's fear and emotions, not based on reality or prudent political policy. We have lost thousands of soldiers in Iraq based on a lie and thousands more that have been injured - not to mention all the people that are developing respiratory problems from the the debris and soot.

One of the worst errors is all the young Americans dying in Iraq as a result of this President's treasonous policies. That there is no major groundswell for impeachment is tragic.

I always think about the friend I lost on 9/11. We will always remember. I can't believe its been five years since I've seen him. I miss you buddy.
