I’d like to throw out a thought. What if we all decided to reconsider what 9-11 means to us. What if we start looking at the event as a lawless tragedy worthy of measured response, but not a catastrophe calling for war?
As NR says “Does ANYBODY remember 2 jet airplanes crashing into and destroying the twin towers? Not to mention the other devastation that occurred that day?” Yes, of course we all remember, we’re reminded constantly that we should all be afraid, so afraid that we must sacrifice our personal liberties in the name of fear. But really, how many of us were personally impacted. My family didn’t lose a job, our govt didn’t shut down, still got my mail, refugees didn’t flood neighboring states, etc. Did this act warrent the huge response: two wars, guantanamo bay, torture, creation of homeland security, 6 trillion dollar deficit?
I believe that the Republican administration wants me to live in fear so that they can concentrate more power and money to the fewest possible people without me raising a fuss. All they have to do is raise up the 9-11 banner and we’re all supposed to fall on our knees and be grateful for their protection. I wonder if we’re all being played like lovely Ann backing Hillary?
