What will you do to commemorate the worst day in American history?
911 was not even close to the worst day ever. The beginning of the Civil War would get my vote since it resulted in the most American deaths and destruction in our history.
What will you do to commemorate the worst day in American history?
I always remember the day and say a prayer for the victims and the families of those that died. Worst day in American History? Not hardly, maybe in recent years.

Worst day ever is subjective (obviously). My parents were in their teens when JFK was assassinated. I think that might top their list. My grandparents might have said that it was Pearl Harbor. 9/11 holds that place for me since it was local to me (born and raised in NY, was attending college in NYC, had family working nearby WTC when it all happened).
9/11 probably holds the distinction of being one of the first American tragedies to "feel" so local to so many due to the speed and quantity of information that spread out after it happened. The quantity of news disseminated so quickly from so many sources.
I think the post was intended for what happened in your adult life-time while living in the USA. Not what you "heard" or got yourself "learned" about when it comes to "history".
If you were around for WWI and the Crusades (really?) or WWII and lived in Hiroshima...you might have something to say.
And your killing of Iraqi's over a lie is a liberal lie in and of itself so drop it.
No, and it's not a lie.
Just because you don't like the truth, doesn't mean that it isn't true.

September 11 was a terrible day but not the worst day in the world.
How about a bomb being dropped on Hiroshima (by the US)?
How about concentration camps? How about the Crusades?
How about the killing of over 100,000 Iraqi's for a lie?
Aren't there a lot of tragedies in this world?
Sep 1 2001 was definitely bad, but perhaps not the worst in the world.
The topic was the worst day in American history, not world history. I don't think America had anything to do with the Crusades...
