9/11 terrorist attack 5 suspects,
After being arrested in 2003,
The trial has been postponed again and again and has not yet ended.
Political party strife, prison "abuse scandal", cumbersome procedures...
Some of the victims' families did not wait,
The arrival of the "Day of Justice",
Died with regret.
The situation of years and the absence of some witnesses,
It also makes the follow-up trial process protracted.

The American mentality of "9/11",
Condensed in these two "nevers":
Never forget, never repeat.
In order to achieve the latter,
Nearly a month after the terrorist attack, the United States sent troops to Afghanistan.
Kick off its global war on terror.
War is easy to start, but difficult to end,
After spending a lot of resources and manpower,
The United States is mired in a quagmire.
The form of terrorist organizations and the methods of terrorist attacks have changed repeatedly,
It has also brought new dilemmas to the fight against terrorism in various countries.
"9/11" is an important inflection point in the history of the United States, from taking a plane to security checks, to launching a war, the time and space imprint of this terrorist attack, which still affects the world today. (End)
