people say they will never forget, but most are running around now
caught up in their little lives and only on days like the anniversary
do you hear anything.
during the weeks after that tragic day, people were running around
with flags on their car and everyone was suddenly patriotic and proud
to be an american. you heard very little except a cry for vengeance.
i will never forget. i am as proud now as i ever was, and i still honor
our country by having a flag on our house and my car. i am still looking
for vengeance, because, as far as i am concerned, until they collect all
of the leaders of the taliban, including Bin Hiding, the job is not done.
i support the war - not in the blind way most people did in the first few
weeks of it, but because i know that without the war there will be no
justice. the people who took 3000 american (and other countries'
people's) lives on september 11 need to be brought to justice, even if that
means that they are only running for their lives for the rest of the short
number of days they have left on the earth.
people forget. i don't know how many times i see men old enough to
have served in WW II driving around in japanese cars; or guys old
enough to have been in the korean conflict running around in hyundais
or daewoo or kias. in 50 years,people will be driving around in afghani cars.
bet me.
