I almost laughed, it was close. I've been having a lot of srs discussions tonight so I'm content to contribute nothing here.

I will never forget the treachery of the Patriot Act or the lunacy of the Iraq war in retaliation for something totally unrelated to Iraq. I will never forget the Muslim prayer room inside the WTC and the Muslims who died as a result of the Al Queda attacks, I will not forget the unfortunate lives that were ended by Al Queda in retaliation for our bad foreign policies and meddling in global affairs, and I will never forget the brave men and women who rushed back in to help after Mayor Giuliani told them it was safe to go, and eventually gave their lives because of his lie.

I have respect for 9/11, but I'm not going to dwell in the past. It makes me sad that people are brought up in a radical form of the muslim faith to believe that killing is the instruction of Allah, when it's clearly not.

Also Widow is a poop :D

9/11 is a tragedy. A horrible event in which many lives were ruined.

But

Under no circumstance should we remember and scorn the wrong things.

The only way we can make better the deaths of 9/11 is to understand why their deaths occurred. Cheap, shortcut answers like, "they hate us for our freedom" and other nonsense is a dishonor to those who died.

The only way to make 9/11 better is if we take the time to listen and understand and educate ourselves on the reasons and the people who attacked us.

We all know that to truly understand an controversial issue, you have to educate and listen to both sides of the argument.

So logically it follows that if we do not listen to those who attacked us, we can never find a path to peace. We can never undo the damage done on 9/11, but if we are smart enough, if we are not demagogued by our leaders for political gain, we can learn from our mistakes and make sure that a similar event never happens on our land again.

We can live in peace, we can not kill our way a better world. It will never happen. In fact, it will end with our ability to finance our aggressive policies, which is shortly coming to an end.

I was in 6th grade, playing basketball in gym class, when the coaches gathered everyone around the tv. One started crying, and I didn't know what was going on. Then, it hit me. Still sends chills. God bless the lives lost.
