9/11/2001; ANOTHER DAY OF INFAMY
Today was the anniversary of the attack on the United States by terrorists on 9/11/2001. It is really something to see the events unfold again because the photographic equipment available at that time was videotape. Although I was born some 5 years after Pearl Harbor and was a teen during the Kennedy asassination, this was the first major attack on US soil by foreign nationals. It also changed the way the nation thinks about all kinds of things. It also got us involved in two worthless wars spending billions of dollars needed for the proper domestic operation of the USA and maiming many american soldiers and the like and misusing military reservists forced to leave their domestic jobs in the name of political infamy. The main thing however is that over 3,000 innocent people died that day. Boy do I hate the word "anniversary" used for events such as these. The word "anniversary" usually typifies something of a good thing. I wish somebody would find a different word for events such as these for there is nothing to celebrate here by the use of that word. These terroists got their martydom at our expense and I guess you can say that all terroists get their martydom in that manner. Boy did we get "Pearl Harbored" on this one though Pearl Harbor was mostly a military attack something that 9/11/2001 was not.
