Isn't it time to put 9-11 behind us?

Question

How many more years is there going to be alll day coverage of the 911 anniversy? It was a tragic thing that happened but many other people have been killed in other events and we don't spend every years anniversy observing their deaths. These people where like anyone else, they just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and none of them are heroes as they were at work or as the rescuers were doing, just doing there job, firefighters are hired to fight fires and rescue people. It is just as tragic when one individual is killed but it isn't deemed as important as when thousands get killed, but to the family it is just as much of a loss. Isn't it time to move on and focus on the living?

we lost our freedom here in texas when the ten commandments monument was removed from the courts building. This is a great loss to the morals and religious freedom to our country. This monument was placed their by a homeless organization in our city that does great work and was given to the courts building. However it was removed because someone was "offended" Everyone worries about the obvious loss of our freedoms which are really a result of our open immigration policies and letting people into our country to go to school but no one looks at the little things .

to the person who asked if I shared this view with my mother, well actually my mom didn't even watch the news when it happened. She knew this stuff was predictied ahead of time in the Bible, part of the things of the last days.

Answer 1

It is past time. Do you hear about the anniversary of the Oklahoma bombing every year? No. It didn't happen in New York....which thinks it is the center of the universe and we didn't have a president that used it for political advantage all of the time. Until the American people realize that they are being manipulated and stop participating, we will continue to be subjected to this.

Good question.

Answer 2

Well it has been 5 years. But you need to understand this is a signifigant moment in history. I'm not saying that like some nutty revelationist that points to a passage in the bible & says here this is the event right before the end of days. I'm talking about how unique it is in historical terms. Not just U.S. history but World History.

As far as when the all day coverage is going to stop on chanels other than the history chanel, as long as the u.s.a. is fighting wars & deploying troops using 9/11 as the reason. I don't see it happening any time soon. Maybe 30 years depends on how often a u.s. president talks about 9/11 & how long they go on this war on terror. Oh wait the end of the world will be here before then lol. I have a feeling unfortunately that it's going to last a whole lot longer than the war on drugs.

But thousands of lives have been affected by this event & many have had family members killed in it. So just that alone to me justifies the 5 year coverage we've had so far.

Answer 3

I hope they never stop showing what happened on 9-11-01. It might have been the wrong people at the wrong time, but that was the most horrible tradgedy that our country has ever seen. If you would have witnessed what happened, you surely would never forget. The media needs to continue to show footage of that day for years to come so no one forgets. People are fighting people, killing, stealing, etc. and on that day everyone came together as one. I understand this was forseen in the bible, but like everything else that was fortold, unless you understand the extent of the damage being caused by human kind, you might forget.

Answer 4

Firefighters are hired to rescue people and fight fires. No firefighter takes a job with the intent of dying on that job. The 343 firefighters who died in New York that day knew that it would be unlikely they would survive. They knew they would not see their families again. They knew they would not see their children grow up yet they went in anyway. While people were running out of this terror they were running in. Their sacrifice was noble and worthy of remembrance. Are they foolish to sacrifice themselves for 40G/year? The thing that is most outrageous is that any of those firefighters would risk their lives to save even someone as ungrateful as you. That is why the world will remember them and will not remember you when you are gone.

Answer 5

You're wrong. I still can't forget that day. But I think you're wrong for another reason: we're drawing all the wrong lessons from 9/11. We see ourselves as innocent victims of terrorists, but the fact is that the Arab and Moslem countries had good reason to hate us. I say this as a patriotic white American. One reason they hate us is because of our unthinking support for everything Israel does, whether Israel is right or wrong. 9/11 is a direct result of our unthinking support for Israel and also of our ignorance of, and lack of sympathy for, Moslem countries, and until that changes we can expect more disasters. We should be using 9/11 to learn more about why we are hated, and what we can do about it, but we are not. Our foreign policy is foolish.

Answer 6

It is because of the freedoms we have and the soliders we have fighting for us to keep our freedoms that you could even post a comment like this on a blog, Any person who works in the firefighting or police officer field is a hero every minute of every day they go to work. Have you put your life on the line for your country ?

Answer 7

Why wouldnt we still remember this day, its only been 5 years. We still remember Pearl Harbor, and how long ago was that. We will never forget the lives that were lost that tragic day, nor should we. You are an inconsiderate idiot to think otherwise. Listen to the other people here and step in front of a bus, or ask God to forgive you for your awful sins.

God bless you!

Answer 8

we may be able to in no way placed it totally behind us... yet when we destroyed al-queda and Osama... it would want to bypass a lengthy strategies in route of no longer letting it ensue back... part be conscious: we are 7 years after the right American tragedy of our technology... and the crew that did that's close to an analogous degrees that they were they day they did it, in accordance to the CIA? how do we stay with ourselves? we've surely executed no longer something to convey those that did this to justice... and little to verify it would not ensue back... so unhappy...and Republicans walk round declaring how they're pleased with Bush?

Answer 9

Apparently you didn't lose any family on 9-11 did you? We're still observeing Martin Luther King aren't we? You ready to give up 4th of July too? No, they weren't killed like everyone else!! You need to watch your mouth! I lost family and you've really offended me. No, our families were taken away from terrorists on American soil, you dim-witt. No, they DIDN'T die like everyone else! Other events of terrorism didn't happen in the United States. Maybe you'll have to go through it one day, but with your train of thinking, your to heartless to care anyway. You don't have to watch it on tv, flip the channel, or get up off your lazy *** and clean up from your crack party from lastnight. Your a Nazi right?

Answer 10

It, and all the victims involved should not and never be forgot en. ken S is wrong to say forget it . In order to build on a future we have to remember the negatives in order to have a secure future. It is a good thing to remember, that in every negative, somewhere, and u might have to look for it, there IS A POSITIVE.

Answer 11

Unbelievable that anyone could actually think like that.I think it is pretty heartless to ask the question in the first place,but especially today.I'll leave it with that comment,today is more important to even try to explain what this day means to so many,and how we will NEVER forget..
