How are people around the world remembering september 11 2001?”
SEPTEMBER 11, 2002. September 11, 2001 will forever be etched in the minds of people everywhere. It was a day when all of our lives came to a standstill, and the United States and its citizens wondered what had gone wrong. As I reflect upon this past year, and all that has happened around the world, I feel a combination of anger, sorrow and exhaustion. I’m angry at the militant and extremist Muslims who hijacked a dynamic and peaceful faith and used the name of God to justify their actions. I’m angry at a world where civil liberties are destroyed, and battle cries are sounded in the name of a “war on terrorism.” I feel sorrow at the loss of so many human lives, both on September 11, and as a result of our war on the so-called evil-doers, in which “collateral damage” is dismissed as easily as recycled paper going out with the trash.
