You sincerely believe this?? I know of a whole country who'd disagree with you here, particularly the 3,000 families directly effected.
Your statement is absolutely appauling. Disgusting behaviour on your part which is quite unacceptable. Many a person who do physical harm to you had you said this to them in person. FMOKM
WWII is what I consider a significant event. People elsewhere in the world die in far greater numbers; and, nothing appears in US media. This Nation has indeed endured a lot worse with far less gnashing of teeth. Wake up! We were attacked by a handful of people. The attack was devistating in terms of loss of life, but insignificant in terms of National security. If the Bush administration considered it to be a significant event, there would have been meaninful changes to airport and border security. The most significant changes are tighter restrictions on American citizens, not the actual enimies. There should be no event that could cause a real American to trade his rights for security. Compared to the continuous destruction of our Constitutional governance, the 911 event is insignificant ... but only since Americans will cash in their freedoms for FAKE security measures.
When you do trade your freedoms for illusion of security, that is a significant event. When Americans surrender freedoms for the illusion of security, they mock those who died in real wars to preserve our freedoms. That is more significant.
Your statement is absolutely appauling. Disgusting behaviour on your part which is quite unacceptable.
I find Americans who trade away freedoms for security appauling.
