personally i am a bit done with 9/11
don't get me wrong...it's a special day for people who lost anyone in the attack and my heart goes out to them, but man....how many years am i still supposed to think about it? isn't that what the terrorists want?? to get attention every bloody year?!
I'm not going to flame you, you are asking a simple question, and I'm going to try and answer your question...But the answer is a lot more complicated than the 'simple' question. We remember all the conflicts and most of us even remember what actually started them. More importantly we remember those men and women that fought in them, but most important above all else we remember those men and women that paid the ultimate price, made the ultimate sacrifice, their life, for us...
It is said that by remembering history it can help to prevent making the same mistakes again. And I believe this.
This attack was (in my view) an act of war, it is their 'jihad' , remember something,they want war, they want a holy war and will stop at nothing to get it.
Since WW2 Pearl Harbour, it was the biggest singular attack on the US, and they should thank their turban wearing arses that the world didnt declare war on everyone of them, I'm not politically correct, I call a spade a spade, only a complete moron would believe we can live in harmony with people who believe we are all infidels, and deserve a death of the worst kind, the truth is these fucken retards love war, when they're not killing and fighting others they're fighting and killing each other....fucken zealots...
I have some very good American mates, 2 in particular, Thermalsig and L_Dog, good men who would give you the shirt off their back, I also have relatives in Arizona, but it wouldn't matter if they were from Mars, the point is we are not fighting for territory, they are fighting for their belief an ideal, and their is (in their view) no room for compromise or tollerance..
My dad is 80 and survived WW2 as a teenager in Belgium against the nazi's (watched his mother shot dead and lost a brother) then fought in Korea with the Dutch a veteran of Hill 325, and he paid very dearly, but thats another story, all this has made him wise and a real world view of the truth of human nature , the good and the bad, he even believes the only way to make this problem go away is to eradicate everyone of them cochroaches..
Now who wants to flame me..
?
Yes, remember exactly where I was when these fuckers killed over 2000 innocent people, I was on leave, could hear my 10month old son Liam crying in his cot, I went to check on him, Kristina was asleep, so was Nicole, I put the kettle on, lit up a smoke and turned the idiot box on, I thought it was a B grade movie at first, but it was on every channel...
BTW + Keasy points for Sugar, good thread....
