You know, I hate the people who argue constantly over whether or not it was a conspiracy/cover up/genuine terror attack. The fact of the matter is, there were 3,000 people killed that day, and severe suffering brought upon thousands more. Husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, fathers, mothers, grandparents, partners, lovers, friends, and many more. How do you tell your 4 year old child that their Dad won't be coming home from work today, because he threw himself out of a window of a burning building so as to avoid a slow painful death? That was one of the worst parts. Watching people throw themselves out of windows to their death.
I can't claim to know what it feels like to be a victim, but all these people who spout their bullshit and argue over the trivial details do not know what it like, so they should shut the hell up and show some damned respect for the dead people.

3000 is not that bad compared to how many innocent people america has killed

Well I rarely try and argue anything on here but if you think it was just the lives lost day then you maybe you need to take step back and look how that day didnt just affect the people that died. Not saying that the Iraq number is any less significant but do not think its a like for like type of situation. Having said that I do understand that is your opinions and feelings on the matter so to each their own. Very terrorism act is sad and tragic but 9/11 did change so many things not just in our Nation but the World.

but the amount of death & suffering repaid upon the world on the back of what happened that day should also never be forgotten...US was giving carte blanche that day to "win the war on terror" by any means that suited them and Im sure there are family's in the Middle east who are still losing sons & daughters, husbands & wife's, even as I write this post and they will never forget that day either.....while we get reminded once a year about it they get reminded everyday about it.....
I also love the media fearmongering every year that surrounds this tragedy....I can only imagine what its like in the US but even here in Ireland we are not immune to it....all week RTE news have been reporting about terrorist attacks been planned for the 10 year anniversary and heightened security.....talking to the usual idiots on the streets who are happy to give up all there rights as long as there kept safe from the "terrorists"...............
anyway my sympathies for those that lost anybody that day and those that are still losing loved ones because of that day....

Sorry to burst the bubble on a couple of posts already, but the direct effect of the attacks was an attack on Afghanistan, not Iraq. While there were connections between 9/11 and the start of the conflict in Iraq, we attacked Afghanistan with 9/11 as our number 1 motive. And its a known fact that innocent civilians are a part of any and every war. But I dont consider flying a plane into a skyscraper with no reasoning behind it an act of war, more of an act of blind hatred of a country.
But I dont want to take away from the topic at hand, as it should be dedicated to those who suffered from 9/11, whether directly from the attacks or indirectly from its aftermath.
