For 9/11

Isn't he in Germany? Who does he think held the Fulda gap during the entire cold war? We did.

I can't engage in political/social commentary, but when 9/11 happened I was living in Austin, and all my neighbors were celebrating that America had been attacked. I had no idea what to say and still don't.
I just started drinking, and started to realize that everything was gonna change, and then got on the phone and called everyone I knew in New York to make sure they were OK.
I remember it like when the Challenger blew up. I remember feeling wrenched for the brave souls on that spacecraft.
I think what Deniz means is that when you grow up among battlefields and graves, you think this:

Bravo to you Anthony and to the veterans, both active and retired, that I call my friends. Thank you, and God bless you all.

Craziness came from all sides. Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell blamed gays, civil liberty activists, and pro choice advocates to justify the events of 9/11 as a divine judgement on the US. Disgusting. The stories of it being a White House conspiracy were pure crap.
Here's what I took from the events of that day. People pitched in to help each other under horrible circumstances. The better angels of our nature were never more in evidence than with the incredibly brave members of the NYPD, the NYFD, the civilians who saved others at their own peril and all other first responders who gave their all to help others and save lives. We need to hold onto that and to remember that.

In the insanity that transpired that day, this is what I saw as well. :clap:

I kindly asked you guys to keep it clean, went to sleep and woke up to this mess. Closing this one.
