It was about civilians who lost their lives due to terrorism that day and up until that moment we were not at war. I think this makes 9-11 a little different since it wasn't a military base that was attacked. It showed all of the American people just how vulnerable we all are. It's all about our ideology.

9/11? What's that?

America isn't vulnerable though. We deliver war to others and rarely have it delivered to ourselves. I'm not saying we deserve it or that 9/11 was justified obviously.

But our insulation from war except for the few that serve gives us a uniquely blind perspective on its horrors that is a big problem IMO.

I swear every time I look at the clock, it reminds me of 9/11.

My daughter for several months after the attacks would inform me when it was 9:11am or 9:11pm. She was just a kid and was scared that we would be attacked again at that time.

We forgot Pearl Harbor? I know about Pearl Harbor and it was many decades before I was born.

Everything fades over time. That's probably why a lot of shit is repeated over time.
