America, it's time to let 9/11 go.....
9/11 was a tragedy and a terrible event in our nation's history and many innocent lives were lost during those attacks. To be honest every time I think of that day I have this nagging thought of, "why are we drawing attention to the single greatest failure of national security in our nation's known history?". Every time the event is brought up it's like salt in the wound.
But let's get down to the real root of the problem. I'm sick and tired of 9/11 being the justification for every single political injustice and infringement (ie The Patriot Act). Additionally, whenever a politician is losing steam you can nearly always count on a motivational speech in a pathetic attempt to bolster support by motivating Americans with imagery of the attacks. They use this as if they alone will be able to prevent attacks by people who wish harm upon our country. We as a nation are continuing to wallow and mourn over this tragedy all the while those that wish for our nation's downfall are getting exactly what they desired for. What the government and media has done is essentially produce a movement motivated solely by fear and revenge. Don't lie to yourself, this isn't about honor or retribution, it is about political control by fostering ideas of revenge and fear.
We've spent nearly the last 7 years exacting our revenge on a scattered group of terrorist cells in 3 countries, that we are publicly aware of. The vast majority of the suspected hijackers were of Saudi Arabian nationality, however we consistently brown nose this nation and proceed to destroy 3 other nations in the process of our "war on terrorism". That is the most ridiculous thing to declare war on that I've ever heard, and yet people still can't see it. Sorry to burst your bubble America but you will never uproot terrorism. There will always be racial, social, religious, and economic divides which will cause tension, then conflict, then violence.
For evidence of how much a failure this "war on terrorism" will be please look to America's "war on drugs"(est.1971), or maybe the "war on poverty"(est.1964), those seemed to be pretty successful right?
We can be a strong nation without living in the shadow of those two towers.
Wake Up America.
