9/11 10th Anniversary

[Shadow Knight]

I stopped caring about 9/11 after the first few days. If people let it get to them, the terrorists have succeeded.

Always remember.

Zeno's uncle lost a relative during that attack.

I believe this is the right thing to do. There are far worse tragedies that have happened before and after 9/11 that the world for the most part pays little attention to (and a lot of people outside the US feel that it is not as bad as what the US have done to other countries in the past, at least this is what I hear). And it's been 10 years, I'ts time to get over it in my opinion, that memorial sight is now a very good target simply because it will make people mad and sad if it get's hit, it's like trolling. I even believe 9/11 is old enough to start joking about not and it being politically acceptable to do so.

I may have a little bit of cold heart but it's just my opinion so don't find this disrespectful or anything like that.

Also, as a side note, game server chats and other chat rooms having been going crazy over this recently, I have noticed that there is a lot of trolls out there trying to make americans that still care mad, and it works.

Exactly! Having a national panic attack, forming the TSA and bankrupting ourseleves, followed by alternate fits of grandstanding and weeping over the last decade rewarded Bin Ladin far more than he could have dreamed.

It's over. Osama is dead. Al Quiada is destroyed. Time to let it go.

While I agree it's time to let it go, Al Qaeda is not destroyed. Osama may be dead, but he was hardly the leader - just an outspoken member.
That's precisely how terrorist cells work - without having a head, working independently. One cell orchestrated the attacks on 9/11 with very little input from other arms of the organization.

Even if Al Qaeda were completely destroyed, without a drastic change in US foreign policy another organization would pop up to take it's place in a heartbeat.

[General BlackDragon]

We need to go back to being isolationists for a while...

[MrTwosheds]

Which is pretty much exactly what Bin laden wanted...

Like what?

[MrTwosheds]

Well there's a really big famine in Africa at the moment.

[APCs r Evil]

The drug "wars" in Mexico (Okay not just Mexico, most of the Americas) are heating up.

Well there's a really big famine in Africa at the moment.

And this is news?

[disser]

i truely think we need to stop thinking about ourselves and give someone elses needs a place for once the world will be better for it

[MrTwosheds]

And this is news?

In some places it is, In other places a few hundred thousand people needlessly starving to death because nobody can be bothered to get off their fat butts to help is not news.

In order to fight evil you have to know what good is.

[Clavin12]

Indeed, and, to play devils advocate, what is good?
