when it is beyond the purview of an individual or group to comprehensively elaborate their position, they always revert to the simplest action to gain attention, violence - those in the least defensible positions always scream the loudest - tribal and clan politics ruled that day, 9/11/01, no sound thinking individuals would have conceived such abject disrespect for the sanctity of human life -- you have expressed your position and emotions compassionately Karla -- I wish you love and peace my dear friend -- Jon Michael
9/11 stands as one of the brutal inhumane acts of man against man this stand out in history, most shrouded in the mists of time. This event stands out because it occurred in Manhattan where violence occurs daily but skyscrapers live on forever. And it stands out because there was so much media coverage during the event and in the days that followed.
Never forget we must. But we must also move on and try to prevent future acts that come out of seemingly insignificant events leading to great destruction. I think of Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the Rwandan massacre, among others that were greater atrocities. They will continue to happen as long as we alienate people and don't include them in the larger society as a contributing members.
