explain.. and if you were in charge of our country (god help us all), what would you have done differently??I won't forget how our government fucked up and left everyone high and dry.
Boogie - excellent points and in ATL there was one station playing the events in real time and now I am super sad and yet proud at the same time.from what ive heard, today's anniversary has certainly brought about lots of mainstream media exploitation of the event.
Im not trying to downplay how tragic 9/11 was, but the morning radio show I listen to is based in NY, and was broadcasting in NY when 9/11 happened. They sounded quite livid about how no matter what news channel you turned to, oh look, theres the twin towers burning again. Its ok to mourn but it shouldnt have to be everywhere you look.
Why dont they show us a picture of Osama Bin Laden and maybe GW can fill us in as to why he has not been found yet?
IMO we should also be mourning the lost soldiers on this "war on terror".
I understand. I suppose at the time it was comforting to have a "target" that a nation can put all their hatred toward.not to jack the thread, but OBL is not as important as he once was. I'm not going to go much deeper into it but I'll say that as MI you realize OBL is only one of many, a drop in the bucket. There are far, far many more fish to fry.
Good point. Nothing quite like catching the man that the media portrayed as a "head honcho" to bring closure to the war on terror. In time, in time...It doesnt look like we are quite ready to wrap things up yet.It's important to get him for symbolic reasons, just to be clear, but he's been neutralized for the most part.
Well, I would have not invaded Iraq.explain.. and if you were in charge of our country (god help us all), what would you have done differently??I won't forget how our government fucked up and left everyone high and dry.
Its so easy to point fingers after the fact... hindsights 20/20
Yeah, how come people want to live in one of the nation's busiest ports and in a city that has a long-standing history.No, but Im also of the opinion that its not such a good idea to populate an area thats always been BELOW SEA LEVEL!
Im sorry, I think we're getting a lil off topic.
