Go to Turkey. They Love Americans. I spent 3 weeks in Turkey and they loved me. Best trip of my life. Saw the Total Eclipse under perfect conditions. Stayed in a 5 star hotel for @200 Dollars a night with the best Turkish Bath on the planet.

A salute to all that passed that day, and to all that have fallen since in an effort to right such a wrong. So much sorrow.
A black day in USA history for sure.

This thread is just more evidence that convinces me that we may eventually be taking up arms against each other. The chasm between our ideological viewpoints is growing exponentially. It's sad. We used to have a lot more in common than we had differences. Not any longer.

If you really want to honor the tragic loss and suffering of the survivors you would demand the truth!

What's incredulous to me is that up until 9/11 we were so f#cking naive as a country to think we would not be targeted by terrorists using our own airplanes!!!
And what type of security did our government and the airline industry have in place that allowed four planes to be simultaneously hijcacked by boxcutters, I ask YOU!!!! Up until then we had:
1. No locks on the cockpit doors.
2. Piss poor airline security paying people minimum wage.
And that equals total negligence on the part of:
1. Our government
2. The Airline industry (edit: and their parasitic lobbyists!!)
Then our f#cking response is not to look within and see how our own negligence led to this catostrophe, but strike out and attack two countries, kill countless more people on both side, spend trillions, and what have we really accomplished???
OK, rant over...

I dont know about the rest of us, but i am a little dissapointed that it almost seems that we have forgoten how important this day is. I woke up this morning thinking that we would get to see all day specials reliving that fateful day.I go to turn on the T.V. and could not believe that the History Channel was the only one showing something. Yes, i do understand that some would rather forget and focus on where we are at today, but for the last 8yrs i have almost made it a ritual to rewatch and remember what happenend on Sept 11, 2001.
Apperantly we have not all forgot and it was great to see this post was already up and running.
Never Forget and Lets focus on the great things to come!
GOD Bless

Kind of related.... Any of you read the "33 Strategies of War" By Robert Greene? Interesting how todays events are modern times of the past.

This would be a good time to momentarily drop the politics ( I know, i'm more guilty than most) and kind of meditate on the lives lost that day, and consequently.

Yeah, what Jaybro said....
Many families here and abroad have lost people in their lives. Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.
God bless them.

In English, the dogs of war is a phrase from line 270, scene 1, Act III of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war" referring to releasing the "dog", i.e. the restraining mechanism, which has been preventing war. It is frequently incorrectly quoted as referring to canine "dogs" .

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once
more, Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As
modest stillness and humility; But when the blast
of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action
of the tiger: Stiffen the sinews, summon up the
blood.

you people make me freakin sick. why can't y'all just show some love.
in memory of those that died on 9/11.
thats IT.
no one is asking for a political diatribe, we all know (as you've told us COUNTLESS times) how much you hate bush & co, that it was or wasn't an inside job, etc.
save the rhetoric for as many other threads as you, as#@&%es.
RIP.

And btw, your right wing buddies did a fine job of using it for political purposes. I bet you didn't object back then.
