Lest We Never Forget 9/11

[Ivy Mike]

hobbeeman, there is a big difference between the UK and its apparent disgust with self-defense and how I feel we should deal with the events of the past.

Terrorism may be conducted for many reasons, but it always seems to have the effect its named after. It produces fear in a society. While it may be scary, we can not allow that fear to turn us into sheep bleating for our shepherd. We must remain strong as individuals if we hope for our country to remain strong.
One way to do this is accept that we are afraid, but then have courage and move on with our lives.

By doing what the Brits have done in the past, we push America forward and do not allow it to degenerate into the quivering mass the terrorists hope to create. Its about being strong in the face of adversity.

I am not an authority on the British.
I do strongly believe that the American custom of remembrances/monuments etc. shows a wisdom of sorts. It follows the thinking of remembering historical events...to avoid repeating mistakes and keeping prepared for what may come our way.
BE PREPARED, is the scout motto that I followed as a scout and now as an adult leader in scouting. I believe that it fits this situation as well.

I think we should make a monument like the Mongols did - out of the skulls of our enemies.

If you're ABC, you make a movie that dramatizes and fictionalizes what happened so that we can watch it as 'entertainment'.

So did they take their cue from Michael Moore, or he them?

Moore's film didn't have a cast of hollywood actors.

Husker1911:

I remember.

 

[roo_ster]

I will remember and tend the coals of righteous anger in my belly for all time. I will do my best to convince others of the primacy of this clash of civilization vs savagery.

I think you have been reading about "Tamerlane aka Tamerlame". Vicious to the bone.
We really need to stop before we go to that extreme.
But I believe the ball is in their court.
