i don't understand but i do feel for all the victims of 9/11 but by still remembering this globally (the immediately effected victims will obviously remember it everyday and pay homage on the anniversary) then i believe it stands the risk of becoming a case of 'when do you stop'? as other posters have said, the USA needs to move on. Does 7/7 get the same response worldwide? do other disaster events, man made or natural get this kind of treatment 9 years on? it was tragic, it will live with the families of those immediately effected forever but i really do think it is time to move on and by that, i mean such things as a 9/11 topic on an internet messageboard may not really still have a need 9 years on. i find the footage of 9/11 fascinating and watched the documentary on channel 4 this evening but then i remembered it was 9 years ago, are we going to have one next year too?
never forget, but please, things move on
