9/11: It is time to move on

[thir]

I did 4 yrs USMC 6 yrs Army and been a Defense Contractor for 10 yrs....during that time I have made 6 trips to Iraq or Afghanistan. Personally I think we to stop showing the buildings falling over and over, its just breeding more hate. I am not saying forget or even forgive, but we need to move on. Its hard to move on when everywhere you look it seems there is something to remind us we are in a defensive mode from the chance we might...MIGHT get attacked.

I think you have a point there - we are all living under laws that restrain our personal freedom, and which at times seem paranoid if not suspiciously profitable for political power mongers. As well as commercial interests, who keep coming up with new gadgets we absolutely must have at airports, etc.

The high-jacked planes the Palestinians took never had such an impact on air travel as 9/11 did. The Israelians checked your luggage thoroughly, and that was that.
