So far the nicest tribute to 9/11 I have read came from Mr Urie of Glasgow. Itis hard to name second best, but for me it is the Budweiser commercial of the Clydesdales bowing in respect to the after math of 9/11. Although Budweiser only aired it commercially once, I am quite sure it has gone viral on the internet. It is hard to put all the emotions of today in one blog. Suffice it say to me, the indomitable spirit of America shines on in any crisis. This galvanized a city and a nation.
President Bush used it to push his Iranian agenda, and some people lied to cash in on money provided for survivors and their families. Yes there are evils in the world, but they are far outshone by the lives and deaths of a few real, honest heroes. Yes the Port Authority workers and the fireman. Yes also to people who donated food and their time. Yes also to those who dealt with the after math, like hospitals, sniffer dogs and the men who towed away the rubble. All are heroes and so were many others, who helped one another get out if they could, and comforted those who would not be seeing loved ones again.
Heroes the people of the Pennsylvania flight--not due to land there, but downed by the very passengers they meant to intimidate. Let's roll has been used by many since then, but its true meaning is known to the families of those who never made it to California.
Ten years on, the families of the victims are the real heroes, they have had to find a way to absorb all this pain. The world grieved with them, but in varying degrees to the real parents, wives, sisters, friends and children of those who will never gt home again, including US military personnel. SO much pain from one calendar day.
The world thought Y2K would send planes crashing to earth as the computers than run our world now failed to change over to 2000 from 1999. Within a year so much real destruction was unleashed as to make that day a blip in the road.
I myself do not hate muslims, as that is stupid to hat, and only hurts me. If you hold someone down, you must stay there with them.
Having said that, the particular people responsible for any part of that day I hope are rotting in hell. Not the least of them, Osama Bin Ladin.I am not a hard person, but i shed no tears for him, because with all his money he could have made a real difference in the world, Like the Gates foundation taking on malaria. He chose to shake America out of complacency and he paid the price.
I am lost now on which direction to go, but hate is not the answer for me. It will cause Osama's followers absolutely no pain at all, and it would kill me to carry that bile around.
So, in conclusion, i can not know the proper way to feel today, nor can i blindly hate all Muslims for the actions of a few. That makes no more sense than me going on trial for what happened to Native Americans, as I did not do it.
So I hide in my little apartment, pray and weep.
Hope you accomplish more with your day.
God bless the world today!
