Anyone remember what they were doing five years ago today?
Another, perhaps more pertinent question: How much does anyone care?
I think it was awful that we were attacked. But really, it's not like it hadn't happened before. It wasn't some earth-shattering event. And I'm not trying to be insensitive and ignore the familys that lost fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, etcetera. I just don't see why such a big deal was made of it.
Okay. I've put in my two cents...or sense. Debate away.

When we spill the water of every murderer of innocents...
Every bullet those men in the Middle East put into a terrorist is yet another strong message saying that even the soft country America is today still has a justice that their little bodies cannot withstand.
My grandfather was blessed to not die that day. I take that near occurence personally.
Is it a big thing? It's the traitors we give the untruthfully kindly name of "liberals" that want us to forget. Over three thousand innocents died that day and their murderer is still at large.
I guess on this...the Fremen had the right idea. "Never to forgive. Never to forget."

Fair enough.
I honestly don't know why it doesn't affect me. Maybe because when my brother yelled upstairs to me about it, he said two planes had collided over New York City. Misinformation. I just figured, Oh, okay, an accident. Happens all the time.
Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't care. But how different has life been since then? Any different than it was after the first WTC bombing? Not that I can tell.
Justice must be meted out on those responsible, yes...but don't cloud the issue with so much hype that I begin not to care.
Unfortunately, that's happened. There's been hype from the beginning. As you pointed out, the left has been responsible for most of it.

We, uh, started a war over it.
That's a little bit different, don't you think? Most people I know know somebody who is in or going to the Middle East area to serve in active combat. Apart from the emotional effects, one would also point to obvious economic and political changes that both the attack and the ensuing war have caused.

Why should you care? Because people died. Because it was a blatant act of mass murder, and it did enough damage to stir the fattened and sleeping America into action. Because it may well have been the trigger point for World War Three.
Beyond that, and in a larger sense, people died. I'm not talking three or four people. Have you heard the accounts? Limbs falling into the street, blood running thickly enough to blot out the pavement. This was a massacre. Does that mean nothing?

Yes, we started a war over it....yes, it was a massacre. I'M NOT SAYING PEOPLE SHOULDN'T CARE. I'M NOT SAYING I DON'T CARE.
Just so you all know that. But...
I never saw images. I saw photos of smoke billowing out of the towers, that was it. Nothing to touch me.
Thank you, my clone. You just accomplished that.
