Five years ago,the Twin Towers were destroyed causing the terrible death of thousands of innocent people,leaving wounds in our harts. 

The entire FreeSpace Community is close to the relatives of everyone who has lost a friend,a son,a wife,an husband.

Seriously. Meh.

I seriously don't care.

Some people, myself included, are at that stage in all seriousness. It's been five years. I no longer see the need for such large scale grief. Rememberence day is one thing, to remember millions who died in a long war. 9/11 is just one terrorist act. Spectacular, terrifying to some Americans, but still just another attack. It shouldn't be given any credence.

I seriously don't care.

I wouldn't go that far.

[Mobius]

But the consequences of this terrorist act..we can see them every day in the television...
We are you from then?

The world of 5+ years ago has drastically changed. Think about it.

Oh, and if all you have to say is "I don't care", then pardon the unusual ferocity, but shut the hell up.

Agreed. It may not be significant to the rest of the world, but to Americans, this being the third attack on their soil in history (1812, Pearl Harbor included), and it being on such a huge scale makes it significant. Plus, like LGM said, this wasn't just 'one terrorist attack'; that's just like saying Archduke Ferdinand was just 'one guy who got shot.' This event has shaped the world, for better or for worse.

No, the consequences of allowing the act to be used for political gain can be seen every day, in television or otherwise.

Yes the world has changed. We're even further from capturing U/Osama than ever. Pissing away resources in Iraq has made that a racing certainty - which incidentally means we destabilised one of the few secular regimes in the region. The US has made every attempt to cripple the UN. Both the US and the UK have moved towards police states...

And it all comes back to the consequences as I stated in the the first paragraph of this post. It was not the act itself, but the exploitation of the public perception of the act that has led us here.

Fourth, actually. You forgot the first attack on the WTC.

Edit: Where's an0n when you need him?

All politicizing aside...

That day changed so much for people, not just in the U.S.A.

What I have chosen to remember the most is how so many people were able to put aside all the little things that we usually argue about and let divide us and we were just able to be united and suppotive of each other.

That, for me, was the hope rising from the ashes of the towers: hope for what is good in humanity.

Many English soldiers died too,if this is important for you.
You can't remove such things from your head.Your sons will study them at school and probably ask you some questions...

Okay, NOW your disjointed method of replying to posts is starting to cause problems. First of all, I'm Scottish and either way I'd refer to them as British soldiers; Secondly, What things exactly are you talking about? Do you even understand the point I'm making? And where did these soldiers die, precisely?

[Mobius]

In Iraq.
