It is only right to remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks. More than 3000 innocent people died in a single event. The world mourns their loss.
I think what is frustrating to some people is that there so many other innocents who have died, be it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Sudan, etc., who are not remembered at all. Many, or most, are not given a second thought.
I would ask the individuals who are so passionately denoucing others who bring up the pointless deaths of others who have died since Sept. 11 if they have 'remembered' the thousands of Iraqi civilians who have died in GWB's war on terror in Iraq? Do they set aside a moment on August 6 or August 9 to remember the victims of the only nuclear attacks in history? The point some are trying to make is that it is hypocritical to remember only some of the people whose lives were tragically wasted.
Maybe it is more appropriate to remember all the victims of terror and the war on terror today.
