I remember I was in sixth grade science class. My teacher turned on the tv for a second and then immediately turned it off. I remember everyone was muttering about something that happened but I don't really think any of us were able to comprehend it.

Nah more like your a pathetic piece of shit for saying this ^^

can you not comprehend what people write? I abhor all forms of war...arg.. your not giving 2 fucks about a trigger that set off a chain of events that have forever changed the US and the middle East just shows a immature shallowness which you'll undoubtedly be embarrassed about someday.

Scaly....You get bent out of shape when people are allowed to preach hurtful sermons from soapboxes on the street corners in your neighborhood don't even start on us getting emotional on the single day thousands of our civilians were killed. It's just childish.

Yeeeeeah....no. I had family in the pentagon whose offices were in the area hit. That morning we were in a panic wondering if they were okay. We didn't hear from them until late into the night they were in meetings luckily and weren't injured. But they lost coworkers and colleagues that day.

There were a lot of people affected by the actual attacks and then the subsequent aftermath. My sister's husband at the time was recalled into active duty. We had to explain to my 4 year old nephew why his dad had to leave for 9 months to a place my nephew couldn't even pronounce.

You honestly sound like you're just trying to be an edgy piece of shit who completely ignores it's hard to move on when we're still actively involved in Afghanistan. Just because you have the attention span of a small lizard doesn't mean the rest of us will ignore the reasons we're still fighting a war which has been going on for over a decade.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, I'm just saying that it's entirely possible that it was an inside job--and not that it definitely was. I'm not a republican or a democrat, I think the political dichotomy is ridiculous.

The fact that there are so many heroes that would stop it doesn't matter if only 5 people knew about the plan...

As for the extensive investigation, have you ever heard of the Halabja chemical attack? It was an act of genocide by Saddam Hussein against the Kurds, while Saddam was still an American asset. The entire world concluded that Saddam was responsible, except America. Canada, for instance, condemned it as a crime against humanity be Hussein's regime. The US state department, DIA and CIA investigated and concluded that the attack was carried out by Iran, which was very clearly not the case. Saddam's cousin "Chemical Ali" was eventually put to death, after Saddam, based on evidence of his involvement in the Halabja attack. There is even evidence that American officials knew for a fact that it was Saddam who was carrying out these chemical attacks against innocent people, and still helped him in the war against Iran.

It doesn't matter how great an investigation is if the cover-up is simple and conducted intelligently, the CIA is very capable of doing so, and history has shown that they're willing to kill American citizens in false flag operations to get American support for wars, so what is your argument? Do you think the CIA is unwilling or unable to do something like this?

You're right, this isn't a Tom Clancy book--I don't think you really realize that though. It's not a battle between good and evil, it's far more complicated than that. Good people are entirely capable of doing terrible things when they think the good outweighs the bad.

9/11 is not the reason. You were fighting that war long before 9/11. If anything the war is the reason for 9/11... not the other way round.

... and if you look at my post you'll see I specifically said most people aren't directly affected by it. Sorry if you were... but if nobody died or sustained permanent injury you should be fucking over it by now as well. 14 years man... 14 fucking years.



Yea? Why's that?

e/ also - you're*

I think most Americans my age know this it's pretty common knowledge it was at the time. I'm not a believer in all the goberment tells me. 9/11 would not could not be a 5 man need to know mission come on 007 for fuck's sake use some common sense. Quit watching u-tube and go out in the sun for a while, the vitamin D will do you some good

bush and cheney did 9/11

how can we forget? the aftermath is ongoing.....

Excuse me for offending your delicate sensibilities - But, I am not being shallow as in disconnected from the horrors of 9/11, rather just enlightened to the state of the world in general. I don't see anyone writing sob stories about Rawanda every year - because it's not your country.

I understand this is a sensitive topic, but I'd appreciate if you didn't resort to personal attacks.
