We still have yet to deal with the massive failure of the Bush Administration to prevent September 11th and the consequences of reacting with pointless, criminal violence that all but destroyed any semblance of American benevolence.
And we're still in terrible denial of our cultural madness in the wake of those attacks, how we became bloodthirsty and immediately sacrificed every semblance of dignity and our most "deeply-held beliefs" about liberty and freedom.
This moment has trapped us.
This moment has trapped us.
This awful anniversary has been mired in symbolism and reverence for mythologized memory. But the truth is that September 11th, 2001 was an absolute tragedy that shouldn't have happened and the aftermath was a total disgrace in so, so, so many regards.
This is a solemn day and on it we should remember those who died in the terrorist attacks, but also the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who needlessly died in our wars of aggression, as well as those who were tortured and held illegally.
