I'm so glad that 9/11 has come and gone.  Am I the only one who was appalled by the media being absolutely orgasmic over the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the United States? 

The fact  that this was a tragic event  resulting from a combination of religious extremism, blind hatred, and decades of misguided American imperialism, has largely escaped their notice.  Instead the media has decided to turn this into a human interest story in which they obsess over every detail about how 9/11 changed everything.

And what has changed?   We are bogged down in two wars. One that never should have been launched against Iraq, and neither of which has improved our ability to not be attacked in the future.  In fact we are probably hated more now because of these two wars.  We have sold the American soul down the river by openly torturing prisoners, in violation of every treaty we as a nation have ever entered into. We are holding prisoners without due process in prisons around the world.  We are being patted down and porn scanned before getting on a plane.  Who knows the true extent we are being spied on by our government today.

You may call me heartless.  I know innocent people died.  I know that there were thousands of "heros" in the aftermath of the attacks. But I think its time to move on from this.  Get over it.  The money spent on this one day alone could have fed thousands of homeless people.
