Like it or not . . . 9/11 is forever a part of history
By Kaye Grogan
Unfortunately, many people are insensitive and wrapped up selfishly in their own little socialite cocoons, assuming they deserve immunity from the hardships of life.
After listening to people calling into C-Span when the question was asked: "has there been too much emphasis and time dedicated to the victims of the 9/11 attack?" — I was appalled at how many of the callers said "enough already!" Others stressed it was time to move on.
Well, it's obvious these people bypassed losing a loved one on that fateful day as the Twin Towers in New York City toppled to the ground, the Pentagon suffered substantial damage involving another intentional plane crash, and the innocent people on a flight believed headed to the White House crashed along with the terrorist tormentors, in a Pennsylvania field.
All of these people who were only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time — will forever be an unwilling part of history. Only the participating terrorists and their cohorts knew of the approaching disaster, the others were just pawns in the hands of madmen who were on a mission to destroy America or at the very least to terrorize her citizens.
So, if you're one of the people who begrudge the 9/11 memorial, and commemorating the memory of those unfortunate enough to be listed among the 3,000 victims, take your dog for a walk or something else "unimportant" while the families of the victims rightfully console each other.
I am sure that every family member mourning the loss of a father, mother, spouse, sibling, child or friend during the worst attack on American soil in history, would love to change places with someone who escaped being involved on a personal level.
With possible preplanned future attacks on US soil on the terrorist hit list — no one is exempt from becoming a victim themselves or losing a loved one. In fact, the likelihood of those opposed or resentful toward 9/11 sufferers — the same type of tragedy happening to them multiplies, as the attacks become progressively worse.
Today marks the sixth anniversary of the September 11 horrendous attack, and many misguided propagandists along with drama kings and queens are still convinced that President Bush ordered the attack. Not only is this pure speculation (without any substantial evidence to back up the claim) but pure lunacy. This proves if a lie is told long enough — believers will spread the lie as factual.
I guess the president is writing Osama bin Laden's scripts too, since he is supposed to be in cahoots with him — making sure threats of future attacks on the United States are more intimidating and believable.
While I don't support President Bush's policy on illegal immigration and his willingness to allow Mexican trucks access to our highways, the idea that he orchestrated 9/11 is preposterous and completely insane.
As long as enough people are in the "Twilight Zone" I guess their rambling about 9/11 being an insider job — will keep their vicious boats afloat.
Many people also speculate that the oil wells in Iraq are the real driving force of why the Bush Administration was so gung-ho on invading Iraq. Not only is this ludicrous, but a lie. Otherwise the United States military would have seized the oil wells by now, and branded the
United States logo on them.
Other misinformed people deny that former Iraqi leaders had anything to do with the 9/11 attack. Well, how do they explain that the biggest majority of killed and captured terrorists has occurred in Iraq?
Hmm . . . a dog returning to its own vomit, immediately comes to mind.
Can you imagine the chaos if the same Iraqi war theorists were in a position to actually be making crucial decisions affecting all American citizens?
This may be a lot closer than you think!
And that's the bottom line!
