http://www.malcomlagauche.com/id1.htmlSoon, we will be seeing and reading in the U.S. about the sixth anniversary of 9-11. The event’s six-year mark will regenerate the vile passions in the U.S. public to avenge the downing of the World Trade Center buildings. Islamaphobia will become more rampant. Politicians are now beginning to mention 9-11 in their messages more often. Even the so-called anti-Iraq war politicos are saying that the U.S. should pull troops from Iraq and send them to Afghanistan to help get rid of the resurgent al-Qaida.
It’s about time that the average U.S. citizen drop the line "well what about 9-11?" when they speak of the administration’s desire to cleanse the world of evil. That incident occurred almost six years ago and will never duplicate itself. Nineteen Islamic fundamentalists got lucky because the U.S. let its guard down in its airport security. No amount of killing people on foreign soil will change 9-11-2001 and rewrite history. All that will do is incite others to attempt another 9-11.
Despite all the logic and clear-thinking about the reality of 9-11, most U.S. citizens still cite that date and keep trying to avenge the incident. A recent edition of the San Diego Union-Tribune published a letter from Christy King of Lakeside, CA, a suburb of San Diego. It was titled "Remember Sept. 11" and it stated:
I wonder where all you non-Bush supporters were on 9/11. How could you have not seen the horrific terror attack on our Free America? How can you forget that nearly 3,000 innocent people were killed? Our president and our uniformed forces are keeping the war off our soil to protect everybody, even you.
The Bush administration salivates every time it reads letters like this. The neo-cons even wished, in writing, prior to 9-11, that a "Pearl Harbor-like" incident would occur under the Bush watch. Not only did it occur, but it still is occurring in the feeble minds of many Americans.
