An interesting point of...interest...is that Advance Wars I was released on that very day. Spooky.
Anyway, go ahead talk about nine eleven and stuff...I just felt such a sad event should deserve its own topic...
EDIT: Oh crap, could a Mod please delete that topic description? It doesn't make any sense.

Anyways, when I heard about the bombing I wasn't really interested (since I was in school), teachers came running all over saying America was under attack. I never took it serious until I went home and saw the grave destruction.

Nicely said. It was catastrophe, but if you think about it, there are many people dying every day in Iraq because of terrorists that are having revenge on Americans. And their count is much bigger than count of people that died in WTC. And nobody mourns over them (except relatives, of course). Is it fair?

The troops dying is not as publicised, and is happening over a period of time. Whereas the 9/11 disaster was a one blow attack on innocent civilians, killing thousands at the one time. Also, it was all over the news for days on end. So it's obviously going to attract more mourning.

Honestly, i don't really care about dead troops (though, it is sad). It was their own choice to go to Iraq. But what about innocent civilians? They don't want to die and nobody seems to do something about it.

I agree, very nicely said. Many people lost their lives on that day and I hope that we catch Osama Bin Laden in the near future.

When my dad came, he said that terrorists took planes and hit the Twin Towers. I was younger back then ( and with my imagination) I thought that there were still hijacked planes that were gonna crash at other places.

I feel it's sad that I hadn't actually heard of the twin towers before then.
100th post. Yay.

Who says canadians hate the U.S? That is not a proven fact. I have many american friends and in general I think most americans are alright. 9/11 didn't have much of an effect on Canada so it's as much of a big deal to us than America.

Just, most of our leaders are... *cough cough* You didn't here me say that.

but yeah, I remember I was sick that day, so I stayed home. I watched the T.V. and I had never heard of the twin towers until that day. I remember seeing something on fire that looked like a big water tank, so I thought it was no big deal. then my brother in California called and wanted to talk to my parents. they told me to go to the news and my mom started crying. I had no idea what was going on, but then my parents told me and It took a while for the fact to sink in. Its amazing...my aunt was almost on that plane, but she decided to drive.
For fellow Americans: don't you agree though, on that day, it didn't matter what your political views were? All it mattered was, our country suffered a great loss and it became our duty to help sympathise with the ones who lost somebody in the plane crashes. something so tragic brought a lot of unity to our country. Or at least in my view, it did.

There are a few groups of people in Canada that hate the US, that's all I'm saying. I didn't mean to make a generalization about Canadians hating Americans.

Yeah, they hi-jacked our planes and destroyed our buildings and killed our citizens. Then we bombed the mother-loving shit out of them, and continue to do so.
Don't get me wrong, it was a very important event in our lives, but we can't keep this up. We have to move on; we can still remember those who died, but enough is enough.

But, it's still a good topic to discuss and it's educational. Remember, we should remember events such as these. Why do we study history? So we don't make the same mistakes again. :)

But you see, on 911, we weren't terrorizing. say like, someone special to you died and someone else came up and said "oh they were a great person, but whatever; get over it."

With Hiroshima, America was stepping in to end a conflic. Granted, they may have gone a little too far, but 9/11 was a totally unprovoked attack.

I mean, the dumbest thing you can do is sen d a friggin plane to a building, i mean come on! They are TERRORISTS, they need to think of something more constructive. (Notice the Terrorist bashings).

And it also:
1) Destroys things very well, and makes a messy job of doing it. Literally.
2) Makes people wonder who to blame. People naturally want someone to blame for tragic events. It's natural, insecure human nature.

Unprovoked attacks you say? These people have been ignored by the West for decades, except to be invaded. You'd think they'd be angry, although anger doesn't justify mass murder.
Is it just a coincidence that the only countries (bar north Korea) that the west doesn't get along with happen to be the world's leading Oil producers. They want nuclear weapons because their scared of the mass amount of nuclear weapons under the control of the world's greatest ****wit Mr Bush, i'd be scared too with him as you're enemy and it just so happens nuclear energy is one of the most effective sources of energy, denying nuclear energy to the entire area because of the attacks isn't going to make the local population pro-american is it?
That does not gives Muslims the right to blow themselves up and kill innocent people to try and protest against this tyranny. The Muslims actions are abominable but the west isn't completely inocent either.

HELLO: Congress, and ONLY Congress has the power to MAKE WAR AND END WAR, The president has the power to COMMAND THE ARMY.
The Septemver 11th attacks were incredibly lame. It reminds me a bit of the Oklahoma City Bombing. A stupid guy(or set of guys) goes in and bombs innocents...
