Although over 5 times the amount of people die every day over there, we focus in on Sept.11th, as it is all that much more important when it happens to 5000-7000 mostly middle class white people..
We can never heal our hurt, and start working on global peace if we concentrate on such things as the US gov't would have us do in order to keep their wars built on hate and lies alive..
My condolences for those that lost loved ones, this post of course doesn't apply to your lose is on a far more personal level than everyone else on here, but we all need to step back for a second and start paying more attention to the bigger picture, and start seeing the earth as a global community, instead of ignoring tragedies that are occuring in other countries on the planet that dwaft sept.11 until it seems like a crumb at the edge of a giant feast of death, suffering and injustice...

I agree.
When 1,000 people get killed in an African country, it's not even on the fucking news. But it happens in the states, and look out.l
