Why:
It's mentioned every day on the news and has been mentioned every day for the last 5 freaking years.
No, politician can start a sentence without 'since september 11.....' [fill in the blank].
Isn't it time to stop remember and starting planning?
Isn't it time to move on?

I'm sorry but I don't own these people's family a thing. And as far as know we still support them, I think those checks from the government should do that nicely. This event has become little more than a political tool to scare the sheep. As far as the telling the poeple who lost someone, I'd be glad too. The truth is I don't know any of them and neither do most of you.---and I lived in freak'en Virginia for 10 years!

And this latest mock-u-drama is a total sham. Pres. Clinton should sue ABC for defamation of character. He tried to get funding from congress for anti-terrorism activities and he even bombed Bin Laden's head quarters in Afghanistan but they said he was "wagging the dog". It was congress who was distracted by Lewinsky not Clinton.
To use this tragic story for political gain is morally reprehensible. A more constructive story might have been about how well (or not) we've done at implementing the changes recommended by the 9/11 commission.

The commercialization aspect of 9/11 and using it as a way to gain ratings is what becomes very disturbing. Dredging up the horror is infringing on proper respect to the deceased and loved ones left behind. We will not forget because we ARE living in a different world now because of it.

No, there is no harm, or "danger" as you call it it forgetting a tragic and horrible memory of many people dying caulously and undeserving, but the people that died were loving family to many people that still remember them always and will never forget the loss that will always remain with them forever. Yes, all must go on but just think if you in their shoes, would you be willing to "just forget" your loved one that died the way they did and not have such deep emotions that tie in with how they died? It's so easy for us to say such things until it happens to us, right? I myself am lucky to not have had any of my family die there but It makes me appreciate what I do have more and to pray for those that lost so much because I would never want to be in their shoes.

Not really, but we're getting them already and it all ends with more politicizing from everyone's favorite American terrorist George W. Bush when he gives his televised speech Monday night. I'm looking forward to missing that. And as long as that clown is in office, we won't be allowed to forget and start planning since he uses it for political benefit every time he opens his stupid mouth.

I understand what you're saying, but we know that it's going to be this way for years to come. No one will stop talking about it. I don't think that's really a bad thing. We need to remain vigilant about security and as soon as we "move on" something will happen, I just know it. We also need the families of the victims to know that we still support them and the people they loved. I'm sure none of those people have "moved on".
I know I get tired of hearing about it do, but I guess for the sake of everyone we have to listen!

Yes. We must not forget the people who were taken from us so cruely. I do object to the images of what happened 5 years ago being broadcast all over the media, we have seen those horrific images time and time before, we need to forget the horrible images and remember the beautiful people who lost their lives and we must remember the horrible people who murdered them.
We must not forget.

Yes, we do. We must never forget what happened that day! When we forget history we are doomed to repeat it. If we forget 9/11 we will let our guard down and we'll have an even bigger catastrophe! If you don't want to see the coverage, change the channel or turn off your TV.

Actually, people remember the event... but uncaring sods such as yourself are missing the point. For a few days at least America was truly *United*. Those days bear remeberance... what we can accomplish when we are truly united. Imagine the difference that could have been made had we united in the same way during Katrina? Would people have beet shot at as they tried to rescue those left behind? Would anyone have been lift behind?

If you forget the evilness of 9/11 by letting it fade away, people lose vigilance, and forget the seriousness of what happened.

Go ask this question to someone who lost someone in 9/11. My close friend lost his grandfather and everyday still hurts. I think your question is RUDE. Get a life and realize that for people who lost a love one a memory is all they have.
