Ain't it true. Thanks Vagrant.

I just read the new thread today on this matter, and I felt I might as well bring this one back for the up coming date....Not too much to add, but we don't stop showing our emenies that the tears don't stop flowing. It was a great loss, but the way we behave shows us as a weak nation, and fuels their fire to hit us harder next time.....perhaps next year we will not keep up the endless show ....

Tom,
I just read your original post and I agree with you. Not only do we continue to grieve too much, but these ceremonies often seem to have too much pomp, almost as if they are a celebration. I especially liked your comparison to WWII. I have always admired the WWII generation because they never seemed to want to draw attention to themselves.They just quietly got the job done and went on with their lives.

Thanks for reading and your post.

You're absolutely right about the WWII generation Panzer.

Mr. Tom,

Lest we forget? Never. The best way to remember this day would be to begin another day anew. Nuke all 57 states of islam into smoldering cinders. Put the names of all our fallen on the bombs and tie that yellow 1/2 breed running our country on the first bomb and send the assholes to hell. What in God's name has the USA come to?

Best regards,

Bonz

That time of the year again......At least the media is a bit less this year. Now cancer is being covered as a side effect and they want to add coverage for the next 20 years for those who develope anyone of 20 types of cancer that "maybe" related to the 9/11 attack. I don't mean to sound cold about this, but at some point we need to be like Americans of years gone by, and move on without the endless play on being victims. I can once again only assume that we are making some evil minded young man who hates the US, feel that he can harm us for decades if he can cause similar damage to us.....We have become a country of soft , deep thinking people, who often forget there are those whose lot in life is so much lower then ours that they view our endless crying over an attack 11 years ago as nothing but pure weakness. Our economy is suffering, but we now want to cover any cancer that someone who may have been in and around lower Manhattan may develope since it could be the result of the attack.

True, (slowly?) becoming a nation of cowards, screaming "Don't hurt us it was our evil forefathers!" Cowed into servitude by a myriad of confusing laws, Communist/Fascist leaders, and just plain laziness.

I agree. We have become such thin-skinned whiners with political incorrectness,racism and feel the need someone should apologize for the slightest off-color remark.

Tom nailed it. We need to put this behind us and stay strong.
I was watching the first Saturday Night Live episode after it happened and they said their peace and did their thing. They did it tastefully,they gave it a few weeks and then resumed.

I've said this before, but I don't know if I've said it here. In 1941 a foreign force attacked us on our soil, killing approximately 3000 of our people. Within five years we nuked them.

In 2011 a foreign force attacked us on our soil, killing approximately 3000 of our people. It's better then ten years later and we're still flotzing with the problem.

Today Fox News is scrolling the name of everone killed on 9-11, on the bottom of the screen this will take a couple more hours, the other networks offer "chewing-gum for the eyes" [sitt-coms, and game shows,]
