Watching footage on Discovery of these horrible tragedies this evening I s still extremely upsetting 13 years later. :cry:

I will never forget where I was when I heard the news. I can't even imagine what it would've been like to have been in NYC. It was so surreal driving around that day knowing what had happened less than 40 miles my from house at the pentagon.

Wow, am I (read: you guys) glad I wasn't around when this thread started.

one more thought, as a libertarian I see politics from a 3rd party perspective, so as a result it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth when it comes to dems and pubs.

Who's this guy?

I'll say it again, Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11!!!  Sorry if you're sick of the subject but we're in a heap of trouble over there and it ain't going away anytime soon ("that's something for future presidents to decide").   The real question is, what's the solution?  I can't really advocate cutting and running, because that will only further destablize an already dangerous situation.  But make no mistake we are making more enemies by our presence in Iraq with the daily killing of civilians.  It's an awful mess when you get right down to it, and the fact of the matter is that it all could have been avoided. 

Eight years later and it's still a mess . .   Thanks Obama!

That Hunter S Thompson article he wrote about 9/11 is very prescient

"fear and loathing in america" I think it was called.
