Rather than "remembering" (as if we could forget) something that was used as an excuse to get us into war, please consider using today as an opportunity to remember all those who've lost their lives through the continual state of war since that day.

an excuse for unrelated wars and also to compromise the constitution.

Anyone that was alive that day will always remember. I get so tired of this "never forget" meme attached to 9-11. It is as meaningless as "support the troops". We all need to move away from these zombie-like responses to important issues and become much more constructive in our words and actions that address the waging of war, it's awful consequences.

This date every year has been "rip off the scab of 9/11" day. I feel like it's no coincidence we're entering again into a wider war in the middle east (PNAC), on this day, under the cover of the new blood from removing the scab.

I think I'd like to let it sink back a bit into history, like WW2, or the Spanish Flu. It represents also a lot of really ugly stuff people did, in our names, as yet unpunished. It's also the date of the CIA coup in Chile' on 9/11/1973, which could have just as well been the ones who did it to us.

9-10 The Buildup to 9-11. Who freakin' watches these kinds of programs? Ugh. Like I want to go through the awfulness of that tragic day every f'n year! No thanks.

assassination, Bobby and MLK's, then 9/ll (didn't you hate when newsbots called it nine-one-one for a while, as if it were a single emergency dial)? I realized that my mom and many of her generation had also lived through Pearl Harbor and the WWII aftermath before that. Many nations have had citizens live through much more personal tragedies than these few. But wow. We've lost children in unnecessary wars, but in the USA lifetime have never seen our country overrun, been driven out of our homes and lost our possessions. I seriously doubt ISIS is going to come over and beat us up in person. I hope we learned our lessons about real vulnerability since 9/11. With our resources we should be well ahead of the "terrorists," but then that's their strength. We keep going with the same old warmongering," bomb regardless of the innocents who'll turn against us," and never look toward real solutions. Why? The President, the Senate, and the House. Get elected, stay in power....

I never really looked at these closely before. It may be a optical illusion- the smoke pouring out contributes to it- but does it look to anyone else when they do that shot from the East as though the top of the tower is already leaning a bit?

them, and miss 'em, always more so on the anniversary of that insane day.

Sure, Bush, et al, used it to begin years of more insanity, but that does not take away from the awful evil visited on innocent citizens that day.

I have this as a reminder that Republicans can't read: Aug-06-2001 Presidential Day Briefing.
