September 11 - 10 year anniversary

[HenryCase]

Kesa, the attack got attention because of the scale of the attack, and because of where it happened.

Please try to separate the event itself from the events that followed from it. 3000 people dying is not a small number. The issue many have with the 9/11 terrorist attack come from how it was used to justify outlandish actions (two wars, Patriot Act, Guantanamo Bay, etc...). This use of 9/11 is not the fault of the people who died, it is the fault of the politicians.

However, on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, it is not the politicians we should remember, but rather the victims of the attack. I hope you understand why this is, if not then please ask.

That is pretty shocking

The thing that gets me is that all those people die and no one seems to care much but when Americans die the whole world is forced to stop and morn. I think thats why i don't want to see it as a significant event because if i do i feel like i would be confirming that Americans are of a higher sentience than say, people from the middle east. Which is nonsense.

You're looking at it wrong, you don't have to choose to mourn one over the other, you can mourn both.
