I agree with Pan and Stompy on this one. There is already a thread about this titled "Three years" and I posted my opinion in there. In short, 9/11 was horrible, but nothing that crazy or surprising. America has been killing innocent civilians for years, and in Iraq, death tolls on the innocent range from 10,000 - 30,000. Do I think what happened was horribly tragic? Yes. Do I think its one of the worst terrorist attacks ever? No. Bush's terrorism has killed three to ten times that many people in his near 4 year term.

I think 9/11 made me change the way I look at this country.. in a bad way. All of a sudden everyone was patriotic, putting flags on their car being all supportive when just 24 hours prior they could've given a shit less. Just goes to show how easily impressionable the general public is I guess.

Yeah, and it seems they could give a shit less right now too. The flag fad seems to have dissappeared. Dont worry though, when another major attack happens, the flags will be back up for a good month or two.
