sparkz, those criminals who blasted the 2 towers knew that they will be several innocent people inside... they simply wanted to kill, for fun... they didnt give a ++++ about the people.
and yes 9/11 will be always remembered. if you sister or brother would be dead like that, you would not say those words...

there are no terrorist attacks that killed more people then this one. that's why it will be always remembered.

Thank you very much, Diva!

sparkz: don't you think your attitude is kind'a egoistic? Great that you did not lose anybody there, but do you really think that this gives you the right to say "hey everybody, shut up, because _I_ don't want to hear a thing about it"?

I personally think that people always get closer to each other when targedies happen - i.e. we had terrible floods here this summer and thousands of people lost their houses and everything they had. But eventhough they have almost nothing now, the people in these regions help each other and care about each other, although they probably never met before. Maybe that's one of the aspects of being a human?

And I also think that it's normal, that such tragedies stay in human memory - think of Jack the Ripper - he "only" killed 11 people and that's 111 years ago, but people still remember, right? Or the sinking of Titanic etc.

It's hard for people to cope with things like that - very hard. Maybe because of the complete senselessness of this act, I don't know. Imagine there's a person who is very close to you (girlfriend/wife/...), somebody for whom you seem to have searched a big part of your life, somebody you finally found, somebody with whom you wanted to share the rest of your life. You're together with this person, everything is just perfect and one day, this person leaves and you look forward to seeing this person again in the evening, but this person never returns, because some terrorists decided, that they havbe to struck down Allah's will on you non-believers. Imagione all those "what if"'s and Why's - "What if she was sick this day?", "Why? She did not do anything to those people.", "Did she have to suffer for hours?", "What if she would not have been there?" - the list is endless...
And when you're finished thinking about this, think about what you'd throw in the face of somebody who comes along and says "It happened, it was fscked up, it's over now, leave it be, move on, make more babies."

Sparkz when was the last time that a terrorist act took the lives of 3200 innocent ppl with four planes? You say 'you americans' yet we're all still human beings... you say 'get over it' show some respect... all the firefighters and police officers that run up that building knew they weren't going to make it out... and do you think that stopped them? they all deserved the medal of honor for being so courageous... don't tell me that if someone close to you died a year later you wouldn't give a damn... regards...
