      /Depressing
    • pandikukka, on 03/21/2008, -8/+1How ironic right!!
    • ExplosivesWTC, on 03/22/2008, -19/+8Spooky how the World Trade Center was brought down via controlled demolition. 9/11 was an inside job.
      • Frejesal, on 03/22/2008, -6/+10I'm pretty sure you were trying to be funny by making a lame sarcastic comment, but just to be safe, buried.
        • Groovemaster, on 03/22/2008, -8/+4I'm pretty sure he's right, and you're just helplessly dependent on obvious government lies and propaganda.
          • Herkimer56, on 03/22/2008, -5/+8Well, we know the limits of your intellectual capacity, too. Did you ever find any credible evidence to support any of your idiotic theories?
      • Herkimer56, on 03/22/2008, -5/+7No, he's serious. He's been repeating this lie for years even though he's perfectly aware that it's a lie.
      • Cloud7654, on 03/22/2008, -0/+3Yeah, just look at his name. "ExplosivesWTC"....come to think of it, yeah he was just kidding.
  • garymartin, on 03/21/2008, -3/+37That view from the roof in every direction makes my stomach clench.
    • trackerbishop, on 03/21/2008, -37/+6it was all pre-planned from the clinton/bush 1 days. US policy in `97 became regime change in iraq and once they started trading euros and not dollars we decided to go in. 9/11 gave us the perfect pretext. read:
      http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2003/sep/06/sep ...

      ps - digg deleted my previous posting of this. what does that say?
      • Rockmaninoff, on 03/21/2008, -7/+15Probably says that a lot of people reported it as offensive.
        • trackerbishop, on 03/21/2008, -19/+6why are people closed minded morons? the former british environmental minister wrote the above article, credibility counts.
        • Herkimer56, on 03/22/2008, -5/+9Morons? You believe that crap and you have the gall to call someone else a moron? Seek professional help.
      • ANonHubbard, on 03/22/2008, -4/+1Alex Jones invented "9/11 was an inside job" to become a rich man. I hope your proud of yourself for not mindlessly following The Man, but instead mindlessly following a man.
    • fatTJ, on 03/22/2008, -6/+11dude. come on. Regardless of how ever it was planned, or what not. 3,000 innocent people died on that day, and i happened to personally know 3 of them. We have heard all the conspiracies. We don't want to hear anymore of them
      • applemachome, on 03/22/2008, -9/+7Just because they may be conspiracies doesn't mean that they are not true.
        • Herkimer56, on 03/22/2008, -4/+5It does if you can't prove they are true and so far you people haven't produced one piece of credible, verifiable evidence to support your theories.
        • dlllb, on 03/22/2008, -2/+2...Edit. Cant be arsed with this age old debate.
        • SuperCUBE, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Herkimer, 'you people' haven't provided a piece of *believable* evidence to support your theories.
  • crapplebees2, on 03/21/2008, -25/+94"Hey, I can see the airport from here."
  • KenSPT, on 03/21/2008, -39/+1959/11 is the only day in my lifetime where I can recall every detail.

    I was in College at the time, and I can clearly remember what I was wearing, what I had for lunch, the conversations my roommates and I had, and other minute details that normally would go forgotten.

    As remarkable as that is to me, I pray to God we never have another day like it.
    • quaxon, on 03/21/2008, -37/+76"As remarkable as that is to me, I pray to God we never have another day like it."

      Unfortunately people in the middle east have been living days like this for the past few decades at the hands of this country.
      • RevJonathan, on 03/21/2008, -20/+46This country being the US?
        Well, you can certainly disagree with US policy in the Middle East, but the real killers are the terrorists and tyrants of the region. You can blame the US for meddling, but the Middle East has managed to collapse of its own accord.
        • purpmint008, on 03/21/2008, -13/+22Yes, the US government not the ignorant people, but the government.
          In case you don't know, we prop up the terrorists and the tyrants and our corporations make money while doing that.
          Examples: the CIA helped create Al-Quaeda and the Taliban, we put Saddam in power (JFK) and supported him and gave him weapons and allowed him to oppress his own people, we supported the dictator of Iran, we support the dictator of Saudi Arabia, and the list goes on and on and on.
          American government (again, not the ignorant people) terrorism has killed FAR MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE than killed on 9/11.
          Get your facts straight.
          We ignore these facts at our own expense.
          Why? Because the military-industrial complex and the oil companies are walking away with OUR tax money!
        • makkaveli19, on 03/21/2008, -4/+5while i agree it's not directly caused by the us. it's ridiculous to think about how all these "tyrants" that you speak of were best friends with the us not so long ago and were helped.
        • dylio, on 03/21/2008, -6/+8We're responsible for the tyrants and terrorists. The Shaw in Iran is an example, Musharraf another. OH! Let's not forget we gave Saddam the weapons he used to kill our troops (and his own people) with. As Purpmint said, we trained the Taliban to guard our pipelines in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. So in essence, we are responsible for the conflict, among other reasons.
        • dylio, on 03/22/2008, -0/+4Why the digg downs?
      • ryborg, on 03/21/2008, -13/+11Really? Days JUST LIKE THIS?!
        • maci01, on 03/21/2008, -3/+10Average death count per day is around 50 (including civilians).
        • purpmint008, on 03/21/2008, -4/+6Yes, days just like this.
    • AsSubtleAsABrik, on 03/21/2008, -3/+13You could see the towers out the window of my school. Seeing them smoking has been etched into my memory. I can see the skyline from my bedroom window and it still doesn't look right without the towers there.
    • wphj, on 03/21/2008, -3/+53It's like the Kennedy assassination for the old-timers. (Myself excluded, at 18)
      Psychologically it's called Flash-bulb memory, and because your body, at the time, produced a physical reaction, and since then you have repeated the story, you remember everything about the moment clearly, if maybe, no matter how accurate you think your account is, inaccurately.
      • Terr01, on 03/21/2008, -1/+18AFAIK psych tests indicate people aren't any more accurate than remembering any other special days (e.g. weddings, births), people just *feel* like they're recalling things perfectly.
    • halobender, on 03/21/2008, -1/+13Strangely I remember a ton of details from the moment the first space shuttle exploded.
      No where near the same thing but it sticks in my mind.
      • directedition, on 03/21/2008, -2/+3Well it's for a lot of the same reasons. It was horrific, unexpected, and happened on live television.
    • burstaneurysm, on 03/21/2008, -5/+7I was a Freshman at DePaul University. I was in a math class in the middle of downtown Chicago.
      I was in the back of the room and heard an announcement in the hall that the building was to be evacuated. The teacher didn't hear it, so I stood up and said "Uh, they're saying we need to leave the building."

      I had assumed that it was nothing more than a fire drill or something, but when I walked outside and saw that every building in the Loop was clearing out, I knew something was wrong. I went up to a woman and asked if she knew what was going on. All she said was "A plane just crashed into the Twin Towers." I walked to the subway to go home. The train was packed, like the it was worst rush hour in history. The entire way home, nobody said anything. It was eerily quiet; the only noise was the sound of the train.

      I got home and turned on the TV... I sat there in shock for the next few hours.

      I'll never forget that moment. I've never seen the city quite like that.
    • CrazedLeper, on 03/21/2008, -43/+8There will be another day like it. They're calling it 10/12. After the 9/11 lie completely falls apart, they're going to have to make a major move to "prove" that there really *are* terrorists. Of course, there aren't but they can't change the story now. Say goodbye to NYC.
      • airburst, on 03/21/2008, -2/+22You are a sad, sad man.
      • Terr01, on 03/21/2008, -8/+13Certain folks (esp. Ron Paul fans, it seems) like to say there'll be "another 9/11" and they'll name a date and say "Just you wait! You'll see I've been right all along!"

        So far they're batting a .000 average. Why should I trust you number? (Sure, it could be a self-avoiding prophecy, but in that case why worry either?)
      • OverlordXenu, on 03/21/2008, -3/+4Buried, reported, and blocked.
      • Mothrog, on 03/22/2008, -2/+2Get a life.
    • xsquirrel378x, on 03/21/2008, -10/+7all i remember was there was some mexicans moving furniture into the house across from me while it was happening. i dont really remember much else
    • BKred, on 03/21/2008, -2/+5The fist time I heard about the attacks was in my tech drawing class in High School. I recall my teacher trying to access the major news websites and not being able to because they were being hit with so much traffic.
      Next period, gym, and the gym teacher is listening to the radio, which was saying the Pentagon had just been hit. The first time I saw a television, it was all over and the buildings had already collapsed.
      I went home and counted how many channels on TV were either broadcasting news updates or had suspended programming in response to the attacks. It was more than a third.
    • darlyn, on 03/21/2008, -4/+4I remember very clearly almost everything I experienced during 911 and the Columbia Space Shuttle incident. I was less than between 10 and 12 years old at that time.
    • Wargalas, on 03/21/2008, -15/+5Then never forget who the real threat is: Al-Qaeda. We can have disagreements with the Middle East, but the minute civilians are murdered in cold blood, the gloves come off. What do you suppose the reaction would be if one of our religious nutjobs slammed a hijacked plane into the Grand Mosque in Mecca during Hajj?

      There would be rioting in the streets everywhere and you can bet your ass that Arabs wouldn't be talking about how they somehow "deserved it" or how it was a "government conspiracy" or any other such nonsense. They'd want revenge, and rightfully so. So we're the "bad guys" for wanting to bring the murderers of 3,000 innocent people to justice, whether it be in the courts or on the receiving end of a sniper rifle? ***** that.

      http://www.rightwinglunatic.com
      • makkaveli19, on 03/21/2008, -6/+3the funny thing is you've killed 100,000+(i'm underestimating) civilians for your little "revenge" you think that justifiable?
        • Wargalas, on 03/22/2008, -5/+1Really? 100,000? Do tell me where you get such a ridiculous estimate? Are you going to go off of a flawed study that said we've killed 655,000? How's this for revenge:

          Once the Taliban said they weren't going to hand over Osama, I say the nukes should have started falling. Millions dead, Al-Qaeda and Osama eradicated and the world knows we're not ***** around.

          How's that for revenge?
          • makkaveli19, on 03/22/2008, -1/+1WOW!!!! :|
          • Wargalas, on 03/22/2008, -2/+2@makkaveli19

            I don't ***** around when it comes to the lives of Americans. I'm the guy you want on your side when ***** goes down. :)

          • makkaveli19, on 03/22/2008, -1/+2warg i hope you read this, why do the life of americans matter more than someone living in london, iran, china, austrailia. a civilian is a civilian.
          • Wargalas, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1I'll be happy to answer that. I don't think the lives of civilians are worth more then others, however, when you have an entire or a vast majority of the population that supported the Taliban and they perpetrated a crime of this magnitude, they have two choices: Surrender Bin Laden or face a scorched earth policy.

            Why does the lives of Americans matter less to you? Everyone seems to have forgotten that the 9/11 victims were only going to work, getting on an airplane, and going about their daily lives. Now, you see people coming out of the woodwork to say we deserved 9/11, including Barack Obama's pastor.

            When threatened, I want people to fear our retribution more then anything in the world. I'm more then happy to open my arms and my home country to immigrants who come here legally to build a life for themselves. That's what America was founded on. However, when you wage war, you fight it with the goal of winning it and getting it over quickly. You don't ***** around losing men and materials trying to fight the politically correct fight. You kill everyone that's a threat to you.
    • Patrickdnj, on 03/21/2008, -10/+2wow, i was in like the first grade, and i still remember everything.............................weird
      • Patrickdnj, on 03/21/2008, -2/+2I remember everything about it. Since every student in the school was under the age of 12, nobody said a word of it, but I could see teachers crying. And I didn't know why. When my mom picked me and my brothers up, she turned on the radio, and calmly told me what had happened. When I got home, I turned on the news (one of the few times I did before the sixth grade) and saw the smoldering remains of the tower, the people screaming, the towers falling. And I didn't understand. Why would someone do this? Then next day at school, everyone looked traumatized, and extremely horrified. I will never forget that day, as long as I live.........

    • jplevel, on 03/21/2008, -13/+6dugg down for OP's self importance
    • barkus, on 03/21/2008, -3/+5I remember I was in trade school when it happened. Our idiot teacher made us stay in class and I spent the day reading about screw heads from our textbook
    • bbardlbradd, on 03/21/2008, -1/+3Yes, I too remember the day very well. My sopho year's 1st period class had a TV and we watched it live. I remember no one did anything all day but watch TV and wait for class to let us go. I remember looking up and seeing no sign of planes... it was a chillingly quiet time if you didn't have a TV or radio.
    • bliz, on 03/21/2008, -1/+4I can't remember every detail except that it was the day before my english prelims and the news showed people jumping off the building in a bid to escape from the fire and smoke. First time I saw people dying on the television live and I pray that it's the last.
    • Lunarbunny, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2I recall going to watch the TV before leaving for school, after my mom told me that a plane had hit the WTC. As I was watching the news, I watched the second plane hit the WTC on live TV. Then, it cut over to a smoking Pentagon. I left for the bus, and the bus I was on had an AM/FM radio which the bus driver had tuned to an AM news station, on which they mentioned those jumping from the wreckage. My first period class was PE, but we ended up watching the news on one of those TV-carts a lot of schools have. We ended up seeing the tower collapse at school. I don't remember much more than that other than the atmosphere of fear every single person had the rest of that day and the fighter jets passing over my house that afternoon.
    • TitanX13, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1i remember waking up and the first sight i saw was a replay of the first plane hitting the first tower.(i live in california) I had been sick for the past 2 nights. I was about to miss my first day of 7th grade.(i am not a freshman in college) i could tell you where every single person was in that house at that moment even before i moved. i spent the entire day watching the news. i would call my family and update them as i learned more. It was pretty scary for me because most of my family lives in new york and my uncle would occasionally work there. there are very few things that can send shivers down my spine. this is at the top of the list.
    • VinnieDaMac, on 03/22/2008, -1/+2I was a high school student in science class when another teach ran in the classroom and told us to turn on the TV. For the rest of the day, all anyone did for the rest of the day and for the the rest of classes was watch the news unfold.
      • Fiyerstorm, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Exactly the same scenario for me as well, right down to being in Science class.
    • fatTJ, on 03/22/2008, -2/+2And a shame. It was so beautiful out that day. I live on Long Island, and in the distance you saw black smoke. I was only 9, and it still haunts the hell out of me.
      • Butros, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1I remember the weather too. It was gorgeous out in Boston as well. What a ***** day it turned out to be.
    • cathl, on 03/22/2008, -1/+2I don't really have a photographic memory of that day, but I do remember being angry about what I perceived as an opportunity for our elected officials to abuse their political authority. And there are some folks who call me paranoid.
    • GhengisKhan, on 03/22/2008, -2/+3I remember my mother-in-law calling my wife and I at about 6:30 am MST and imploring us to turn on the TV. We did so immediately and were horrified at what we saw. I had a moment of clarity and popped in a videotape into my VCR and just hit 'Record'. The thing ran out about 4 hours later but I got the second tower going down in real time. This will serve as a reminder to my children of that fateful day.
    • Frejesal, on 03/22/2008, -3/+2I feel kinda ashamed.
      I was home sick playing a little online zelda knock off called graal, then upon hearing of it, crying on my bed and damning the terrorists to hell.
    • MrCobaltBlue, on 03/22/2008, -4/+5All I remember is saying to one of my friends as we watched TV in English Class: "*****, here comes the police state."
      • ShagratOfMordor, on 03/22/2008, -2/+4no you didn't.
        • DanOnTheMoon, on 03/22/2008, -2/+1Says the police state.
        • MrCobaltBlue, on 03/22/2008, -1/+2Oh? Glad you were in my english class with me to completely disprove my statement. Wow can't pull one over on you random diggers.
    • Pritchard, on 03/22/2008, -1/+1I dun really recall it. I just remember people crying and thinking there was a bombing. I was totally out of the loop.
    • mikkobc, on 03/22/2008, -1/+1It was the first day of a one-week camping trip with my high school class. I was in the 8th grade. We were headed out to go ocean kayaking for about 3 days, but while on the ride to the shore, we heard that the planes had hit the twin towers on the radio. Everyone was silent just listening to report and I remember my head teacher just muttered "oh my god...". We weren't able to see the events unfold on TV, but hearing about it was scary enough and I'm sure seeing it unfold on TV would've traumatized me much more.
      • elmafudd, on 03/22/2008, -2/+2I remember I saw it on the news. It was on every channel and I was pissed of because pokemon was cancelled.

        I mean one channel is enough, but ALL of them?
    • jax9999, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1
      I remember, I got up, went on messenger and this guy who was a bit of a jerk and made bad jokees like that told me that the tower had been hit. I blocked him. Then went downstairs, my grandmother was watching regis and kathy lee. He was talking about this big accidnet and how horrible it was. then the second tower got hit, the ***** hit the fan and they took it off the air.

      The rest of the day was like everyone elses. Watching tv trying to figure out what was going on.

      the thing that got me for days afterwards was the sky was so empty. they closed down commercial airspace, and I'm a bit of a sky/plane nut. so i noticed how empty it was.

      • khail250, on 03/21/2008, -2/+12obviously you don't invest then.
      • diggstown, on 03/21/2008, -2/+29I thought you were dumb after the first comment.

        I know you are dumb after your second comment.
      • quaxon, on 03/21/2008, -3/+5youre an idiot, a couple of the flights were coming to the west coast, i know one was coming to SF.
      • beckyg325, on 03/21/2008, -2/+2I'm from the Portland area and you make me ashamed to be from here. I knew a girl from my college, University of Portland, whose mom was on the 2nd flight that hit into the WTC on 9/11. Get some perspective.
      • directedition, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2Yeah, really. Noone on the west coast could possibly have family or close friends in New York.
      • Butros, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2Flight 11 was boston to LAX. 92 people on board.
      • JoWiGo, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2Well I mean, no one on the west coast went to war in Afghanistan/Iraq and they still have the same liberties as defined by the constitution. It's just the east coast. Right...?
        • Blazers, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1The war was inevitable, so no blaming 9/11 for that. And if you do blame the war on 9/11 then take your anti war/bush stickers off your car if you feel so strong about 9/11.
    • SD70MACMAN, on 03/21/2008, -4/+1Suck my west coast dick. We were ALL effected by that tragic day. West coast, east coast, midwest, Europe, Russia, China, EVERYWHERE!
  • mathchemist, on 03/21/2008, -18/+97"The closest some of us will ever get to heaven."

    Implying that the many of the people that worked in the WTC were hell bound?
    • zorlok, on 03/21/2008, -12/+7Think about it more, it's obviously still above your head.
    • str1fe, on 03/21/2008, -1/+5Looks more like a pre-9/11 tourism brochure. See "found in Finland"
      • directedition, on 03/22/2008, -0/+8I would hope it's pre-9/11. Woudln't make much sense to promote the WTC's observation deck view when it doesn't exist anymore.
    • Devaney, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2some =/= many, and it's obviously not directed at people that work there already, that would make no sense to have a poster for that
    • knute5, on 03/21/2008, -3/+1No, I think the creepy thing is if you swap "Heaven" with "Paradise."
    • Butros, on 03/22/2008, -3/+1I remember humor like that was acceptable in the 90's. Although maybe that's just because I was a teenager...
    • TheInfinityZero, on 03/23/2008, -0/+0I think you just killed all the emotional/spiritual momentum of the article.
  • VacaN, on 03/21/2008, -12/+11I was in English class when the Principal came on the loud speaker to announce the events. Crazy day, I remember we spent the time for every class discussing the topic and some nutty Math teacher claiming that the Lincoln tunnel, and Sears tower were also attack, instantly scaring the ***** out of everyone. I also remember walking back home since all MTA transportation was canceled. And than of course seeing the collapse every 5 minutes on every channel.
    • hokeywebb22, on 03/21/2008, -4/+3Exact opposite happened at my high school. The principal came over the loud speaker and told us there was an accident at the WTC but not to allow us to watch tv or talk to much about it because he didn't want rumors starting. And I still ended up hearing that a car bomb went off in front of the capital bulding.
      • Netrilix, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2Mine was somewhere in the middle. Our principal came over the loudspeaker, told us that the Twin Towers had been hit, and the Pentagon had been hit, and then we watched tv in every class for the next two days. Every student in the school was staring at whichever news station happened to be on.
      • Netrilix, on 03/21/2008, -0/+4Damn missed the edit time. For some reason, the thing that stuck out most in my mind was standing out in my high school's courtyard a few days later. The ban on flying had just been lifted, and the first plane was flying over the school. I remember looking up, and the looking around and realizing every single person outside at the time was staring at the plane.
      • tba2287, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2Same here. My high school's administration decided to censor 9/11 reporting for fear of getting students too worked up and fearful about rumors. I didn't see any footage of the attacks until I got home because we were in lock down.
        It would be impossible to try the same thing now, when so many students have Internet-ready phones.
    • MScrip, on 03/21/2008, -3/+3I was in Ireland on a college trip, and we were supposed to return to the US in September 12th... that didn't happen. We didn't get to come home till the 22nd. Watching 9/11 from a foreign country gave us a different perspective on everything that was happening in the US. Needless to say... we enjoyed our extended vacation in Ireland and enjoyed the many pubs for an extra 10 days! Although we had plenty of make-up work to do in our college courses...
    • solid12345, on 03/21/2008, -3/+2I had a class mate/friend come up to me saying "there is like 100,000 people dead or something"

      • Alegoo92, on 03/21/2008, -3/+3According to many religions, that's not true. Even in Christianity, they would be considered martyrs, and go straight to their special place in heaven.
        • diggcensored, on 03/21/2008, -4/+0Well lets take a look at scripture, being you provided no proof..
          Luke 12:16-21 He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly. He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’ He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."‘ "But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’ So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
          So reepax is right, if there were any rich fools inside WTC they might have not went to heaven..
        • NathanielJ, on 03/21/2008, -3/+1@diggcensored - I find it amazing that you are able to look up scripture like that when you clearly have no clue of its context or meaning.
          • diggcensored, on 03/21/2008, -2/+4I completely understand it

            The first point of the scripture is that if you spend all of your life preparing yourself worldly things in hopes of being secure you will not end up being secure. In the end God is all that matters in securing eternal life.

            The 2nd part of the scripture is about your life being demanded of you at any moment, and that these worldly things will not be yours forever, so don't rely on them for happyness. If you rely on only these worldly things you are not rich twords God, and will that secure you eternal life? No.

            But as for you, all you say is "you have no meaning of its context" without explaining any of the context. Which tells me you cannot explain its context. You merely state "you don't understand it" without enlightening anyone. Funny.
    • trghpy, on 03/21/2008, -8/+4There are people working at the WTC? Man they're productivity must be through the roof.

  • deadnoob, on 03/21/2008, -7/+39before or after 9/11, the tagline "closest some of us will get to heaven" just seems so wrong.
    • esteskid, on 03/21/2008, -7/+18why? you would never have associated that negatively had 9/11 not happened, its clearly a reference to it's height
      • alittleroy101, on 03/21/2008, -1/+18Oh, I thought it was talking about the luxurious bathrooms. Thanks for clearing that up.
        • esteskid, on 03/21/2008, -1/+3oh no not bathrooms, it's height. You know, cause it was a pretty tall building.
        • fajitamelt, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1Did they have luxurious bathrooms?
      • HenvY, on 03/21/2008, -0/+11It's just a crappy tagline.

    • borez, on 03/21/2008, -2/+6Oh well, from being dugg down I guess it didn't change a thing?
    • Myonosken, on 03/21/2008, -5/+2That didn't change the world. It was horrific, its a disaster, but did not change the world. Al it did was show Al Qaeda were a threat and finally change America's isolationist attitudes.

      And those aren't entirely good changes either.

      There have been far bigger disasters, but you probably don't give a ***** huh?
      • Butros, on 03/22/2008, -0/+5America's isolationist attitudes? Go research Clinton's cruise missile diplomacy, or that Vietnam thing.
        • Myonosken, on 03/23/2008, -0/+1American peoples' isolationist attitudes sorry. Forgot to add that important word :-/
    • Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 03/21/2008, -2/+7Yup. It didn't change one thing. Actually, I take that back.

      It did.

      You see, 9-11 did not teach us that we were vulnerable. It did not teach the United States that it was invincible. We already knew that. We learned those things from pearl harbor. And thus, the only outcome of 9-11 was that we pass legislation that essentially nullifies our first amendment rights. We pass legislation that nullifies our fourth amendment right. And the fifth. And the sixth. And the eighth. And then we allow the government to spy on its own people. The patriot act did not make us more secure, it took away our freedoms. And we did not do this to guard against threats.

      We did it out of fear. The catch here is that to submit to our fear, to submit to terror, would mean that the terrorists have won. After all, the term terrorist by definition means one who strikes fear and terror. So instead we disguise our fear in the name of "safety" and "security". And we move one step closer to communism, as the government begins to collect data on everyone in its country. We fuel discrimination for fear that those of other races are here to blow us up. We collect every shred of data we can find on our citizens, and even our guests, asking them absurdities such as their sexual and religious orientation. And in the end, we are still not any safer.

      I am not advocating that we simply be passive and allow ourselves to be attacked. But I am saying that we overreacted. Liberty and security are independent of each other. We can have both if we do things right. But I do believe that, for the moment, the terrorists are winning. Bin Laden said in his last press release in 2004 that his goal was to bankrupt the US. And he has. The terror and fear caused by the terrorist has not only echoed, but grown in the 7 years since that acted. And while I do firmly believe that this fear will pass in time, I think it is important that we remember how we acted during this time. Remember how we acted during the first and second red scare.

      Say no to terror. Say no to McCarthyism. Say no to fear. That is how we will protect ourselves. That is how we will protect our children, and ensure the survival and success of liberty.

And people seem to expect, just because of the one or two that actually turn out to be true, that it's the government's fault? How do you expect to have the resources to follow up and take precautions against every single one?
      There wasn't a lot they could've done to prevent 9/11 anyway, the reports were vague in nature, and didn't specify the exact medium of the attacks, or when they would take place, or even where. Quite difficult to prepare for that...

      Unless you could find one piece of concrete evidence that the US were behind it, and not some crazy ideas and mixed-up evidence that has already been disproved, I can't believe you. In any way, shape or form.
