Never forget.

Never Forget-

I was in Brooklyn that day, across from the Towers by the Brooklyn Bridge- I was terrifying to say the least, Heard and saw the Second plane, we all knew it was War! We all ran to the trains and were able to get out of there, but many did not too many to count.

May we remember the firemen especially who to this day suffer from that day not only mentally but physically from the asbestos poisoning they received.

I'd rather take a minute to think about this - 10 years later? What is the media and American doing? Exploiting a terrible tragedy of America for more profit and that feeling 'patriotism'. "Let's remember, buy these shirts, show your support! This company supports 9/11, buy our product! This newscast brought to you by "product x", never forget."

It's just sad - because everyone buys into it.

What's more sad is to think of the THOUSANDS and thousands of our servicemen/women who've given their lives and been maimed or ruined by this 'war on terror', which was really a front for some profit driven government called "America". A tragedy turned to profit - never forget.

It angers me how misguided the 'never forget' has become... I'd understand if they lost their lives and that was that - but we've lost well beyond double that in a war we shouldn't even be in. THAT is what we should never forget.

It was a tragedy - but now it's all profit.

War for natural resources and money have been going on since the beginning of time. I don't understand why the american people are so angered over this fact now and not decades ago. That's all I gotta say before this ends up being put in the politics thread.
