- For all the families affected by that tragic day.
What lesson? Convert to Islam or perish? See, that's what Osam Bin Laden says he wants. He says if we don't all convert to Islam, or he will kill or enslave us all.
Totally agree.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.
GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE AFTER HIS OWN HEART.
AMEN Im afraid its comments like this that tend to lose the U.S some sympathy imo.yes it was a terrible Day and yes the perpetrators deserve everything they will (eventually)get. But maybe we should also try to remember the everyday casualties that occur in other Countries due to American (and its Allies,inc GB)foreign policies.

No, it means that America needs to learn a lesson from the events that happened.
One more thing. This is almost exactly like telling a rape victim;
"Well, you should'nt have worn such a short skirt and egged him on!!" Yes, the US has done terrible things. But 911 was not a direct result of them. Radical Islam has been around for 1300 years. The US for 228 or so. You do the math.

Again, what lesson? Your statements are tantamount to a justification of the attacks. Disgusting
I think the poem says it best...That's why I posted it in the first place.
"yes, the lessons are all around us
and a change is waiting there
so it's time to pick through the rubble, clean the streets
and clear the air
get our government to pull its big dick out of the sand
of someone else's desert
put it back in its pants
and quit the hypocritical chants of
freedom forever
cuz when one lone phone rang
in two thousand and one
at ten after nine
on nine one one
which is the number we all called
when that lone phone rang right off the wall
right off our desk and down the long hall
down the long stairs
in a building so tall
that the whole world turned
just to watch it fall"I find nothing "disgusting" about supporting peace instead of misdirected retaliation. But somehow that is indistinguishable from the belief of a terrorist? To make an association like that seems narrow-minded and "silly."
Instead of being angry that the government has capitalized on the grief of 9/11, instead of being angry that Bush disrespected the victims by opposing an independent investigation of it, instead of being angry that the government couldn't show respect by putting its military resources toward actually CATCHING BIN LADEN, you are going to act like your feelings are hurt by my posting of a poem.
Horrifying.

yes,
us people are just poems
we're 90% metaphor
with a leanness of meaning
approaching hyper-distillation
and once upon a time
we were moonshine
rushing down the throat of a giraffe
yes, rushing down the long hallway
despite what the p.a. announcement says
yes, rushing down the long stairs
with the whiskey of eternity
fermented and distilled
to eighteen minutes
burning down our throats
down the hall
down the stairs
in a building so tall
that it will always be there
yes, it's part of a pair
there on the bow of noah's ark
the most prestigious couple
just kickin back parked
against a perfectly blue sky
on a morning beatific
in its indian summer breeze
on the day that america
fell to its knees
after strutting around for a century
without saying thank you
or pleaseThe lines outlined in red are what I have a particular problem with, as well as some of the rest of it. It insinuates, once again, that we are somehow at fault for what OBL has done, and that he is somehow righteous for what he did.
However, it's interesting to me that you would automatically lump me in with those who have knee jerk support for the actions we made after 911. I made no such assertion. I have no problem with the invasion of afghanistan. I feel we should have done so sooner. If the people being brutalized by the taliban were anything but women I think we might have. I think it's disgusting that it took us this long. However, I have my own problems with the Iraq invasion. However, this thread is not the one to post those reservations, IMO.
you are going to act like your feelings are hurt by my posting of a poem.
You do not know me, yet once again, you make assumptions about my feelings and thoughts, saying I am "acting". Let me assure you that I am not. My fellings ARE hurt by those who want to defend Al Queda. I am not, however, automatically putting you in this category. -

In memory of all those who lost their lives that day, and for all the thousands more who lost dear loved ones and for whom the world will never be the same. And for all of us.
Remember.

Thought this was worth bringing to the top on the 5th anniversay. Visited Ground Zero a year ago.
Hope I live long enough to see it re-built and alive again.
May we someday become rational enough to live in peace, though the events of these last five years have left me so very, very skeptical of humanity's ability to do that.
I think we are further from peace than ever, and I see fundamentalist, literalist religions of all stripes at the core of this insanity. If you read some of the other posts today, you see how even some JWs almost cheered on this kind of travesty. If you are god's favorite child, if you know what is best for everyone and god is guiding you, if you have The Truth, you become capable of committing the most horrendous atrocities.
I wish you all peace, and freedom from mindless religion.
