Day 254: We will always remember

September 11th, 2011On the 10th anniversary of the terrible 9/11 terrorist attacks, I have to dedicate my entire blog post to the fallen heroes, and the first responders that were there that tragic day. Now, in between the period of the twin towers collapsing to the present day, the attacks have largely been politicized as justifications to increase U.S. military intervention in the Middle East, particularly Afghanistan and Iraq. It’s a shame because if you actually look up the reasons Bin Laden carried out the attacks – it was to bankrupt the U.S. by inciting them to engage in unwinnaable wars overseas, and to split the American public opinion.We are now living in a very polarized political state, with the increased presence of radical left and ring wing groups in the United States. If we’re lucky though , we should end the wars now before we further cause more unrest in the Middle East, incite more hatred and terrorist attacks, and save our economy and the U.S. ship from sinking. Obama has failed in doing so.

I largely did nothing much other than eating first in the morning with Geetha as Island’s (my food doesn’t look very good as pictured above), and then going home for nothing other than a day of deep reflection. In between playing various forms of Facebook games, I watched some CNN and FoxNews to get my 9/11 fix, while also tragically reflecting on the events of 9/11 by watching various youtube videos. All I know is by the end of the day, I will never forget what happened. I remember exactly 10 years ago when my 6th grade teacher was literally crying in the classroom because of the events. I didn’t exactly know what it meant back then, but I am more than well aware of what happened now. America will always persevere. <24.
