yeah people lose people all the time, why are 9/11 people more deserving? i'm glad they were helped but it was ages ago. and every year people go on about this same stuff. hello, it's not the only tragedy in the world. in fact, the world's full of them.
It's the historical significance, I believe. It was the first time in our history the mainland of the USA was attacked, so successfully.
and that's why it was such a shock to everyone. i was really pissed off and shocked. because it broke an illusion of safety. the war was always "over there", not over here in the west where people were safe. it changed the world in an instant.
but they are playing the victim card and it's not healthy or fair.
it wasn't just america that got hit, in spirit it was all of the western world. and it had repercussions that affected us all. the paranoia and violence. anyone dark skinned was suddenly a suspect. anyone with a weird sounding name. anyone "foreign" on a plane. it's disgusting what happened to the world, not because of the attack but because of the response.
