I don't see any reason to commemorate this any more than the 8/31 baghdad stampede or amritsar massacre or the hindeburg. I think people do a real disservice to those that died that day
I'd rather see a commemoration to the hundreds of thousands of dead civilians caused by the presence of US soldiers in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan for the past 10 years.
I'm a US citizen by birth, and although it was horrible that the Trade Center buildings were bombed, it's my opinion that the US response to the bombing has been unconscionable. Not to mention the destruction of US civil liberties and erosion of the Bill of Rights within our own country, coupled with the militarization of the police force. I personally do not support any current US military operations.
I actually had to fly on a plane yesterday, and to my surprise the only interruption of service was a loudspeaker in the morning (6:45am Pacific Time) requesting a moment of silence for those killed. Airport 'security' didn't seem any more annoying or invasive than usual. I recognized the day by reading George Orwell's Animal Farm in the airport before my flight.

Just thought you'd know.
People here are pretty communist...
Racism, check.
Conspiracy theories, check.
Now all that's left, Fordom, is for you to eat a bag of dicks.
I remember what I was doing that day. I was in school and they announced that a plane hit the first tower.
At the time I don't think we knew if it was a terrorist attack or not. At least I didn't at first until later.
Alot of new people started coming to church after that, and people were wondering when the next attack would be.
People didn't feel safe in their own home because the attack broke people out of their comfort zone for a while.
Then those anthrax attacks. Sending letters with poison in them. Crazy stuff.

I can't even begin to imagine how that statement was communist.
Nah, I'm just being obnoxious, which is much different from Communism (although they may share some characteristics). You've consistently proven that you don't know the difference between the two.
Apologies to Phred for derailing. I'll refrain in the future.
