I've never been able to feel connected to, or very effected by, the events of 9-11. I'm not sure why that is. |

Chet, I'm a history buff, my thing is technology, & patterns.
9/11 will affect different people in different ways. I swore, then got pissed, ( knowing when the second plane hit that it was a deliberate act ) and knew how hard it was going to be to stop something like this from happening again, and how hard it would be to not react, badly.
Lot's of people will tell you how you are supposed to feel. Most of them will be wrong, for you.
9/11 was big, but in some ways just a bump in the road. Far more people were murdered by Stalin. you can fill a stadium with such like cop outs & false comparisons.
It was an event that is in some ways too big to wrap your head around. Don't feel too bad if your reaction doesn't fit with others expectations. It does not mean you are a bad guy because you feel disconnected from it. ( If you dance in the street when people are mass murdered, you may be evil )
I never got the Princess Di thing. I didn't get all upset when she died. I can see that others looked up to her, & were effected, strongly. I didn't dance. |

I think it's because I don't think either the US or the terrorists are the 'good guys'. |

I don't let patriotism blind me to the bad things we often do.
Does that seem somehow weird? |

Court thanks for posting the "from my window that is beauty-full
9/11 I was Near Agusta Ga, and My familay was here there is an atomic power plant less than 15 miles as the crow flies from here I called home and asked my wife to get the kid out of school and fuel the car and leave, she did not, but it was ok. Me I worried, I remember as the reports of the colapse came in thinking and saying "Oh God there were police and fire/rescue in the building" I remeber My heart sinking
Last weekend a radio show was playing on the car I was woking on the DJ was going on and on about "remember but forgive,,"
maybe some day, but right now I hope that the Army or USMC find Osama Bin Hiding and burry his sorry self in pig $hit, and the rest of the moslem bottom feeders with him, I also hope that if 911 is ever repeated on US soil again that Meca will become a mile deep glass lined crater and any other target if needed too.
I will never forget, I hope some day to forgive
but not for a long time....

"remember but forgive,,"
I remember the Alamo, but I don't feel any animosity toward Mexicans or Santa Ana over what happened. One day, the events of 9/11 will be remembered like the Alamo.
That time is a long, long way into the future, though. I don't think anyone who witnessed the terrorist attack 6 years ago will ever forgive what happened.
I implore everyone to show some respect for the victims of the events of 9/11 and to please not use this thread as a platform for political discourse.
Please start your own thread if you want to vent your spleen. |

What bother me most. Is that people place those that died on 9/11 at a higher level than the troops.
After 9/11 millions of dollars was donated and thousands of dollars to to the "victims" memorials and what not.
But right now. American troops are getting the shaft with the VA. They are even being forced to have mass funerals (ie two or more caskets in the church) at the same time.
I don't live in NewYork and I've worn the uniform. So I look at things different. |

I just can't resist.Jimi,i remember Iraq invading Kuwait saying it belonged to Iraq rightfully.We helped liberate the Kuwaitis'.It dragged on after Iraq pulled out with Iraq in non-compliance of many resolutions.Iraq was in the wrong place at the wrong time when 9-11 happened.As i said,Someone was going to pay for the attack,and Iraq was a thorn in our side at the time.I've no problem/w George W. in that regard. Bravo! Bravo for our brave troops! I remember 9-11 well. It happens again and...well..game over,right? |
