No, it is just people like you who want to tie the mourning the loss of people in a tragedy in with politcs and foriegn policy.

Oh christ here it comes...

As opposed to people like you wanting to forget thet lessons that were learned that day?

So..people like "me" were wrong when they wanted revenge for Pearl Harbor.. a tragedy with people being lost that ended up making foreign policy.

So.. people like "me" were wrong when the genocide in the Balkans happened... I mean, that made foreign policy and politics as well.

You're making ridiculous assumptions Linus, like usual. You think he wants to forget the lessons...no he doesn't. But he doesn't feel like he has to talk about it and scare the rest of the public by saying "We better pray and take a moment of silence every day or else we'll get hit again." Just because some people do not see it as the absolute worse thing going on right now does not mean they do not feel for the families and such.

How have people forgotten, what do you expect the public to do? The media has done nothing but show coverage of this for the past month or so and will continue to do so for decades. How are people "forgetting?" Give me concrete examples please.

It was a national tragedy, and the last time I checked, I, as well as most others in this forum, are a part of this nation. You don't think it bothers us? That was a really idiotic thing to say.

Yeah i can tell people to stop morning. Because its fake. I dont need some morons in michigan screeming OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY. No you arent, tomorrow, on the 12th, your going to go burger king or whatever and never give it a second though. But when i go home, and visit friends in the pentagon, there are 34 people that wont here from me, people that i would still give anything for them to see me now.

So yes, it really pisses me off when millions of people treat today like some sort of overbloan pitty party. Some people are actualy hurting today, we dont need all you people who lost nothing, saying oh god im so so sorry.

Its like your dad dies, and everyone on this forum does that stupid "OMG RIP" or, oh im so sorry! Same thing here.

Plenty of forumers have lost people they loved. Unfortunately none of them feel its necessary to claim a national tragedy like it's something just for them. I'm with Whale, no one has forgotten, but give me a break.

Not forgotten what happened.. but forgotten the lessons. For the first few months after the attack, the country was as close to one another as it has EVER been. We have never been more united and shown more resolve in the face of an enemy.   Politics were put aside. All differences were put aside. We were ONE nation. 5 years later, we're a split nation.. one side wanting to exterminate the evil of the world. The other wants to go back into isolationism and be the friend to the whole world. The isolationist believe that if we dont medle in the world, we wont be attacked. RIGHT THERE, they forgot the lesson of 9/11--- we can and will be attacked for no reason at all.

How are you speaking for both sides like you know exactly what would happen and exactly what is being thought. That's why your points are sometimes not respected. Because you make out the opposite side like it's pure evil and your side like they have all the solutions. You're just perpetuating the division you accuse those of forgetting of making.
