Simply Remember 9/11

I know it's over-hyped and is quite emotional, but please take a moment on 9/11 and remember those events of 2001. If you find yourself not still affected by that day, do a "Google" search on 9/11 attacks and view some of the video of those events. I remember watching it all unfold live on TV, and cannot watch replays without experiencing the disbelief and anger. The truth of the images cannot be hidden.

Remember:
- The terrorists attacked primarily non-military unsuspecting civilian targets (with the exception of The Pentagon), using commercial planes.
- There was no explicit warning or message given prior. No opportunity for civilians to escape (unlike when the USA military attacks)
- The goal was to destroy as many lives as possible on USA soil, regardless of race, religion, nationality, gender, etc. It wasn't only USA citizens that were attacked.
- The USA (and world) is now having to fight a war against an organization that swears no specific loyalty to any country or government. They will hide wherever there is room or sympathy for them. They refuse to make themselves visible to the world.
- The USA military is visible and does not hide or mask themselves. We are open and clear about who we are, and what our purpose is. We continue to attempt to fight within the rules of engagement, while the enemy continues guerrilla attacks on civilian targets.

The attacks from 9/11 are unbelievable due to the veil around the plan and those who would be involved. A massive attack on primarily non-military targets, largely inhabited by non-military civilians is not something the world can afford to forget or excuse.

We must continue to pursue these terrorists around the world, or risk more death and destruction on our own soil. There is no third option. The terrorists want all USA citizens dead. Period. Yet, they refuse to reveal themselves, and continue to hide. If Bin Laden and/or his team are so strong and powerful, why not make themselves/himself visible? Why continue hiding?

We didn't start this war, but we will fight!!

God bless the USA, and those who stand with us against evil. Rest in Peace to those who died on that fateful day, and from other terrorist attacks. And may justice prevail against these cowardly murderers.
