FSM Special 9-11 Tribute Scroll all the way down Then click here and post YOUR memories of 9-11, if you feel people have forgotten and what you think our future holds in regard to fighting terrorists.
The Editors FSM Contributing Editors reflect on the traumatic events of 9/11, and what has changed over the intervening years.
Gadi Adelman 1993 should have been a wakeup call, when terrorism hit us here at home, but we hit the snooze button. Nine years ago on 9/11 the alarm sounded louder. Why are we still asleep?
|
Ruth King Policy makers, military leaders and pundits are more worried about offending Moslem sensibilities and being accused of Islamophobia than actually confronting the facts about jihad.
|
Robert Weissberg Nine years afterward we are still confused, squabbling over the most elementary facts and it seems endless. Thanks to our PC infected brains, we want to fight "a war" without offending the enemy.
|
Amil Imani Life reminds us all how vulnerable we really are. On that day, the world we live in appeared an obscure and dull place, filled with pockets of disasters where men are easily the victims.
|
Colonel David F. Bedey (US Army, ret.) You see, the protests mounted by those who lost friends and loved ones are all about hurt feelings; they couldn't possibly be based upon rational concerns about an ideology that is bent on our destruction.
|
Dr. Candace de Russey But something new and extraordinary commingles with commemoration on this ninth anniversary of the attacks. One senses a heightened public understanding of Islam, and in particular its dark side.
|
W. Thomas Smith, Jr. We are a nation at war, and the enemy is doing everything possible to destroy us and our way of life.
|
Renee Taylor In the nine years that have followed, we have sent our loved ones to war in a far off land - a war with an enemy without a uniform, without any obvious structure.
|
Nicole Sadighi It is vital not to forget the past sacrifices made by so many who have brought us to this day...
|
Daniel Greenfield 9/11 interrupted the culture of passivity with a warning and a challenge. Either we would defy and defeat evil anew, or it would consume us whole, as it had done to so many cultures around the world.
|
Gabriel Garnica, Esq. What seems all too easy to forget, at least for some, is the bravery and unselfish dedication to service that took place on the hallowed ground where these towers stood.
|
Vincent Gioia It was amazing to see how Americans joined together in outrage and a show of loyalty to our country. American flags abounded and flew proudly instead of being trampled in a display of "free speech."
|
Nancy Hartevelt Kobrin, Ph.D., Joan Jutta Lachkar, Ph.D. As the 9th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, wouldn't one think he would have more empathy, sympathy and concern for the tragic day and destiny of the lost loved ones?
|
Bruce Kesler Since 9/11 there is a locked gate and a guard at the Jewish preschool my sons attended, and guards around our synagogue. The fear is spreading in the US...
|
Ben-Peter Terpstra For me, 9/11 is more than just mourning for victims (although that's important). It's also about confronting today's enablers and co-conspirators before we wake up to 9/11 II.
|
Lee Ellis Yet, when we were struck on 9/11 in New York with close to 3,000 innocent citizens being killed or maimed, Congress refused to declare an act of war.
|
Tim Wilson During these latter phases we have been attacked at home and our soldiers have been attacked abroad every day. Radical Islam grows ever bolder in the belief we are spineless and irresolute.
|
Dr. Laina Farhat-Holzman There are peaceful Muslims in the world, but Islam itself has always been a militant religion that noted historian Samuel Huntington described as having bloody borders with every neighbor.
|
Alan Caruba Beyond the issue of the huge loss of life and the destruction of the structures, the question remains why, nine years later, no new structures have been built at the site, including of course a memorial.
|
G. Murphy Donovan The myth of the Islamic victim is one of the most jarring and dangerous false narratives of the early 21st Century. The whining began in 1978...
|
Please light a candle and put it on your porch or steps Saturday 9/11 to show the world we will never forget our fallen friends family and hero's!
