indoctrinate with catch phrases: "the terror attacks of 3/25" doesn't sound quite so catchy....furthermore, i can't see anyone's eyes glazing over, then numbly nodding their head in unconscious consent as someone begins a sentence with "the events of 8/19/01 forever changed America...yaddayaddayadda"

so you are absolutely right. the "terrist agressers" picked quite a handy and memorable phrase to use to further their agenda. you get quite a pavlovian reaction when you use 9/11 in a sentence....could be talking about ham sandwiches, or the price of plywood...but hell, you just won the argument....9/11. 9/11. 9/11.

the effect it has on us is too friggen convenient to be picked at random by bin laden. i'm thinking MIHOP.
