It should have been for longer.

I was wondering how they were supposed to know that it was a so-called "bin laden" who was behind the attacks - especially when they, however, were not able to prevent those attacks. I thought that to be really weird from the moment I heard some dude say shit about Bin Laden just a few minutes after those attacks happened. after that, I was suprised of how many things around me referred to 9/11, although I wasnt even in the US.

Nah dogg, I never refer to myself in 3rd person. I just wanted to do something different with the post 'cause everyone knows it's a 9/11 post, and it's a very serious topic, and I wanted to post something a little lighter. After all, 9/11 was one of the few times I agreed with war, but since our lovely president has taken advantage of the situation, and that's way on the 3rd year, no one is really talking about it as much as they should, because everyone has cheapen the meaning. We are going to false wars, we have new enemies, and lost plenty of allies, and lost our own civil rights, all because people have taken 9/11 and cheapen it's meaning, made people afraid of their own shadow, their own neighbor. 9/11 was the most tragic day in the United States history, more so than any day they killed Natives, slaves or the civil war. On 9/11, thousands of innocent people lost their lives for reason they had nothing to do with, and it's our government's job to protect us from further damage, and to get the people responsible. The results was that, instead of our government taking care of us, they abused their power to take advantage of us. 9/11 is suppose to be a day of reflection, a day we look back and realize that the world around us is not as safe as we think, and it's time to move on to a future were we don't isolate people but try to do what's right for the world, because doing just for the United States has caused us great harm. But instead, people use 9/11 to scare us into obeying them. I sad day is now overexposed, our leaders took that and abused their powers and us. What was suppose to be, has now been cheapen.

I totally agree with you here... except where you say it was more tragic than the day they killed Natives, slaves, or the civil war. Killing off an entire people is pretty tragic. Treating people like animals for centuries (and it's still going down) is tragic. Slammin' a plane full of civilians into a building full of more civilians is tragic.
Peace damnit!

oh the events of slavery, and indian removal, and the civil war, they are were really tragic, but not in any single day did something as deadly as 9/11 happen. My grandmother is 100% native, and I can tell you, what was done to her tribe is beyond belief, but it happened over time. A nation of people reduced to 19 people in 1919, though there was no one day that everyone was killed, it was happening over time. On one day, thousands of innocent people died because we had a false sense of security, we thought we were untouchable, and we are not. With a day that everything changed, our leaders took advantage and cheapen it.
Read the sig and see what I think of 9/11 now.
