Tenth Anniversary of 9/11 (Iran, school, terrorists, New York)

[no1brownsfan]

I remember almost EVERY single detail of that day! It is burned in my memory! Am I traumatized by it? No, but I would say it was probably the most significant historical event to happen in my lifetime. Probably similar to those who remember the Kennedy assassination! My wife and I also have friends in the NYC area, and they took us to the WTC in March of that year, almost 6 months to the date of that horrible day! As horrible as that day was, I would still rather watch a 9/11 documentary or a memorial service of 9/11 over ANY of the reality tv crap that is on!

No matter what you believe about that day, who did it, why it happened, whatever.... we should NEVER forget!

Whats the problem with honoring one day for the victims on 9/11 especially considering how far we've come as a nation since then?

I have never heard of anyone celebrating or memorializing dead family members on the anniversary of their death.

Do you think of them that day, maybe put some flowers on their grave that day.....yes.....but who, in effect, holds another funeral on that day?

That's what the man on the giant TV screen told us to do anyway... and also to go shopping...

Please note Osama Bin Laden was buried at sea,
and we as the American People have never seen
pictures of his remains...

Yea.....he is alive and well and partying with Elvis as we speak.

it appears I struck a nerve.

but hey, go ahead and keep reminding yourself we need to stay on the heels of them terrorists, so the next time the patriot act gets renewed there will be less of an outcry.

gimme a break. moment of silence? if by moment you mean months, and by silence you mean every media outlet in the country talking non-stop about something that happened 10 years ago, then yeah your right.

I don't need to see his remains to know he's dead. At one time I wanted to see them, (pictures exist), but today I really don't care.

What we know:

1. His ugly mug hasn't been on any grainy videos lately bragging about how we "missed him again".

2. The radicals issued a fatwa for revenge when he was killed.

3. His wife and neighbors saw it all go down.

4. There was a US helicopter that crashed on his compound that Pakistan allowed the Chinese to view.

5. None of that would have happened if he was alive.

He's dead. That's good enough for me.

To "lay in the grave" as I suggested - go skinny dip in the North Arabian Sea.

If it bothers you so much, turn off the damn TV.
Sheesh.
