Eric Dubin HIS-356 June 2015 You’re being watched On September 11, 2001, a shocking revelation surged throughout the United States of America: We are vulnerable to terrorist acts on our own soil. This sentiment had not been felt for some time, and arguable not at all in the same way. The last time in history Americans had been kill by an opposing military force on U.S. soil, had not been since the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese pilots on December 7, 1941.
