Remember 9/11

Today is the 16th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, when nearly 3,000 people died in terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center and in several hijacked planes.

In Kansas City, firefighters honored their brothers by climbing 110 stories in full gear, the same amount that New York firefighters climbed on 9/11. In Bethlehem, firefighters will play a game of softball against police officers to show that life goes on.

  1. Yes, we remember 9/11. However, does anyone care any longer who was responsible for the attacks?

    Yes, the Muslims that flew the planes in the World Trade Center, The Pentagon, and who hijacked Flight 93 carried out the attacks, but who funded the attack? Terrorism on that scale costs money. A lot of money. More than Bin Laden had.

    Will we ever find out? Probably not. Just as we will never find out the facts of TWA Flight 800. Jamie Gorelik's presence on the 9/11 Commission assured that no truth would come from the investigation. She did better work there for the Clintons than Sandy Berger did at the National Archives.

  2. Actually the leaps and bounds from the attack to Jamie Gorelik to the Clintons is even more entertaining. Bernie, as the late Eric Hofer stated, do not try to argue facts with a true believer.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
