911 five years and pearl harbor

There is no other comparison between 911 terror attack and Pearl Harbor, when America was under attack. However, if you consider how many non-Americans died on September. 11, 2001, from annual reading of victim's names in NYC, you will realize how the world has changed.

Five years from the horrible event, the World Trade Center is gone, here comes a more globalized world, even terror attacks has gone more global, not only in New York, Washington DC any more, you see in London, Bali, India, Spain, etc. Some experts even suggest the world of terror is not about Osama Bin Laden any more, but a worldwide Islam extremists' movement.

Pear Harbor leads to a war and a resurgence of Japan and Germany, War on terror is still going on, five years after the 911, there is still no clear winners.
