The Boston Bombings

       Usually when you hear of a terrorist attack you think of a Middle Eastern race but, in the Boston bombings case two  young Russian radical brothers set two bombs off during the Boston marathon. They had expected a higher death rate but only a couple died and a few others injured in the terrorist act.  They had finally caught the two brothers but the older one was killed in combat and the younger one was captured and taken for questioning.                                                                                                                                                      I can relate the Boston bombings to the 9/11 attack that took place on September 11, 2001. Because they were both acts of terror by radical religions. "How can they hate something that they don't understand?"  Timothy Hinckley asked  that question after he found out his daughter died in the Boston bombings.  After the 9/11 attacks many family members were wondering how such a thing could happen. Many people wondered how the airport security could be  manipulated so easily since there are so many checkpoints required before getting on a plane. So one thing both terrorist attack had in common were that they both left questions behindfor the family members of the deceased. Mark Cambridge said "what's the point in them attacking us if we haven't done anything to them?" That same statement stands for the 9/11 attacks we hadn't  done anything to them but they felt the need to attack us.                                                                                                                                                 "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That's the golden rule that everybody claims to follow. But if everybody followed that rule then there wouldn't be any terrorist attacks. So obviously the terrorist attacks are not acts out of the religion they're  acts out of anger towards our government and country. "They do not realize that we are people just like them."  That was a statement made by John Hampton after the Boston bombings. John was one of  the workers at the marathon during the Boston bombings. After hearing that I realized that he was wrong. They know we are people just like them but they are selfish and believe that we are corrupt people.           Maybe one day America will realize that we are hated by many people and we need to step up our security. The Boston bombings and 9/11 are just proof that our security is slacking.
