Two Years Ago Today . . . .

[ET Awful]

The world changed.

A few deranged madmen rammed planes into buildings snuffing out thousands of lives, and creating countless other victims through those who lost their family members. This was, indeed, a tragic occurrence, and one that should never be forgotten.

But Americans weren't the only casualties. There were people in those buildings from dozens of other countries and cultures. They were victims as well. As were their families.

There are countless Afghani men, women and children as well. They are also victims of 9/11. They should also be remembered on this day.

There are many US military families who lost their loved ones to war as well, they are also victims of 9/11.

America wasn't the victim on 9/11. The world was. All of us. It affected everyone. The buildings may have stood on American soil, but they were the worlds buildings.

The whole world joined with us in our grief on that day. The people we called friend and many we didn't expressed grief and horror at the atrocity of it. And they lent their support.

They rallied behind the US in every way they could. Most were willing to supply support for the actions taken against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Many nations are still in Afghanistan trying to keep the peace. They knew that removing the Taliban was the right thing to do. Sadly, the Taliban are slowly regaining some power in that ravaged country.

They knew, as did most, that going into Afghanistan after the Taliban, and most especially, after Osama bin Laden was the right thing to do, and they helped.

To this date, 2 years later, the real criminal behind 9/11 had not been captured. He has been greatly ignored for many months. Another war has been started, and thousands more have been killed and made victims.

Yes, those in Iraq are also victims of 9/11 and an administration that would willfully deceive it's population into believing that Iraq was somehow involved with 9/11, and an American public only too willing to be duped. Thousands are dead in Iraq, and they too are victims of 9/11.

After all, any time an innocent man, woman or child is killed, regardless of circumstance, they are a victim. It doesn't matter if they're American, Afghani, Iraqi, French, German, Australian, Swahili, British, it doesn't matter. They are all human beings, and any of them that die unjustly are victims and so are the families they leave behind.

The final victim of 9/11? Truth. Truth was a victim on that day as well, because it hasn't been told by those in power since that day. The truth has become foreign to them.

So, for those of you that are religious and feel the need to have God bless something today, don't ask him to bless America. Leave the God Bless America signs at home. Rather, make it. . .

God Bless The World

I'm not religious, but it's the world that needs the blessing of any supreme being that exists, not just America, the entire race of mankind.
