No, it’s too late.
No.
No... the early aftermath of 9/11 is the last real display of unity this country will ever have. It’s permanently divided now.
Given that the left and right remember very different things about 9/11, the answer is no.
Articles like this insult my intelligence.
Absolutely not. Unity presupposes commonly held core values by a large majority of the population. That condition simply does not exist in contemporary America. Sorry but personally desire only the most superficial relationship that is absolutely necessary with anyone who self identifies as a Democrat. Would never trust such a person in any matter of importance and would never want such a person in the foxhole next to me.
LOL. Bush came out and accused half the country of being the equivalent of the Taliban. The days of unity are over.
Remembrance will not, but the inside-job Truth just might.
The 9/11 Unity is a myth.
Not when about half the country wants to steal your freedoms, liberties, votes, guns, bibles, and life.
No because as most of the speechs given indicate, the Political Establishment has no interest in unifying us
9-11-2021 made it clear that the US political class views us as the real enemy.
No. Two things happened in the aftermath of 9/11/01 to probably forever make it impossible for our nation to unite again.
First, GWB ordered our military to essentially walk away from Afghanistan and the hunt for Bin Laden so that they could attack Iraq. In hindsight, it's clear he did so to complete what his father refused to do during the Gulf War, and that was to take out Saddam Hussein.
Second, we collectively as a nation elected Barack Hussein Obama president a mere 7 years after 9/11. In one of his early autobiographies, Obama said point blank that he is a Marxist (meaning communist). Obama set in motion all of the divisiveness we live with today: political, racial, societal, cultural divides that are only growing. Thanks to Obama, American communists who had been marginalized in the 1950s, came out of the closet with a vengeance and have been on the march ever since.
> America was attacked by those who hate freedom, hate democracy, and hate peace. <
That’s the old George W. Bush line, and it’s not true at all.
What I learned that day was that we were sucker-punched. No one thought a hijacker would fly himself and the passengers to their death. Cockpits were easy to break into back in those days.
2 weeks after 9/11 Bill Clinton condemned the USA and inferred we deserved it.
The democrats from that point forward undermined the US against the muslims.
9/11 means something to *some* of us who were around when it happened. The other day I read about a school system that had its teachers teach about 9/11 in a way that wouldn’t offend Muslims. Our elites of the political class and the media trivialize the attack by saying that those who don’t walk lockstep with the regime are as big a threat as the Islamic terrorists. Identity politics and the victim culture have fractured us a thousand ways. The version of “history” taught in many schools leads many students to come to believe that America has been a force for evil from its beginning, and the world would have been better off if America had never existed. The education system, the media, and much of the corporate world push a lamebrained and authoritarian agenda that cancels out those who value liberty and seek to preserve it. It is normal for people to love their country, their home, but the left always advances what is abnormal.
So, no, I do not share the writer’s optimism. She is right about prayer, though.
