People, or atleast those who think Americans are by default better than anyone else in the world, seem to have made 9/11 as important to their nationalist views as Christmas is to Christians. It is the day we Americans are told that freedom and peace come at a price. As this is said, our freedoms are withering away, and peace is promised at the beginning of each war, only to cause more wars and hence, no peace. September 11th was not an attack on our supposedly great way of life, other nations lead more or less the same lives but without attack from terrorists. People from Sweden, Brazil and South Korea lead the same lifestyles as Americans but they were not attacked by terrorists. Why? Perhaps because they don't attack other nations when it seems convenient? Nor do they strive to do so. The USA, on the other hand, spends more money on weapons of war than all other nations combined and at the same time does the most to interfere with the affairs of others. September 11 was the result.
