The thing I want to remebmber about 9/11, especially with the way politics are today, is that everyone looked at each other as an American. Nobody cared if you were a Democrat, Republican, conservative, liberal, black or white. All of the citizens of the United States were on the same "team". It was a wonderful feeling of pride we were proud to be an American. It is so unfortunate that we have gotten away from that unity we had for the months following 9/11. I really hope we do not have another tragedy like 9/11 to unite Americans again.

On 9/11, or anytime the subject comes up, all of the leader's and news people and all that act like they haven't forgotten, and say things like "we forget about our differences on this day" and **** like that. It makes me sick. These people forgot about 9/11 3 months after it happened.

People can ***** about the war in Iraq all they want, but when I here people whining and saying we shouldn't be in Afghanistan, it kills me. People HAVE forgotten why we're there. 9/11 is the ONLY reason we're there. If the people that spent all day criticizing the war would spend 5 minutes of that on researching why we're still over there, they would not ***** anymore. We completely killed out the Taliban in 3 months, pretty much by January 2002. They were gone. Then, the Iraq war started, and 9/11 and AFG were forgotten, and the Taliban/al-Queda made a comeback.

It isn't politics, oil, or for the CiC's personal gain, it's to kill people that want to kill all of us. This isn't Iraq, and the public needs to stop treating it as such. I can't believe that this war doesn't have 99% of Americans supporting it. Unbelievable.
