Remembering September 11th...
Can we just remember that people died without diminishing it with speculation and articles about what may or may not have happened? bottom line people died - let's remember that. leave the socio-polital debate for another time and place.
Remembering September 11th...
Today, tomorrow, the next day and so on, each one of these days over 20 thousand people will die of hunger or hunger related illness. These people have led painful lives and will die in a horrible way most of us couldn't imagine; can the same be said of the victims of september 11th?
Remembering September 11th...
Incredibly well said. It would be doing all the dying & dead of the rest of the world a monstrous injustice to, in any way, assume that the 3000 victims of 9/11 are more significant than other victims of violence and ideological warfare around the world. I find the thought of a 9/11 memorial a bit misplaced, as there have been ample & plenty of opportunities for similar and even greater (and more terrible) grievances all around the world for the past 20 years. But I suppose distance is everything here, as this is the first time such a catastrophe has struck americans, in america...

If you remember only those who died in America then the statements are already political.
Remembering September 11th...
This is a textbook example of false equivalence.

Remembering September 11th...
The error can be expressed in one word: context.
Remembering September 11th...
So Foobar, you want to context? Try this context: the ongoing Iraq war started as an illegal invasion, predicated on lies. It had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction. Nothing to do with terrorism. Nothing to do with protecting the human rights of Iraqis. It had everything to do with ideological hubris, shameless greed. Evil doesn't require the precondition of malice; depraved indifference will do the trick also.
depleted uranium is radioactive.
I'm not about to get involved in the more political arguments, but I feel it is necessary to correct a factual inaccuracy. |
