as for me its mixed emotions. the whole thing was so horrific i can't make fun of it or be flippant. . . i can't even watch the movies or tv shows . . it still just bothers me too much
but, i also get upset by the people who want to wrap it in the flag and use it to justify every war and military intervention they can think of. . . so the whole spectrum of emotions related to 9/11 are too intense for me personally

It's OK, dude. To be honest, I had to get drunk to do it. Sometimes it's just too intense to talk about, especially on the anniversary of it. I really like Haunteds response of just 'Peace' You can't sum it up a whole lot better than that.
I seriously can't think of many situations where a person living in the states wouldn't be affected by these events. Like I stated for my grandad, this IS our Pearl Harbor. It affected us all. We'll all remember where we were when it happened. It was terrible. The Seattle Center around the Space Needle was shut down for a week or so. It was so surreal, I couldn't believe it. I'm only 28, so next to the Berlin Wall coming down, this has been the biggest world event in my short life. Staggering and overwhelming. I'm not sure I'll ever live to see anything like it again. If it's that grim, I'm not sure I want to.
