What 9-11 means to me...

[Alex]

9-11 for me was was a sad realization that the only wake-up call the U.S. was capable of acknowledging was encased in barbaric violence.

The meaning of 9-11 varies from person to person and from country to country. Perhaps only the passage of time can make diverse interpretations of 9-11 meld into a common global purpose.

I hope the U.S. will no longer tolerate electing presidents that directly receive campaign contributions from corporations they are supposed to watch over and inspire.

Since many U.S. corporations rely on foreign resources to run their companies, the President's office should challenge our corporations to do great work on a global level rather than cheerleading our corporations only for America's Good.

I will never forget the man and woman holding hands as they jumped from the World Trade Center to their death. I cannot begin to fathom a situation where I had no choice in my actions, yet still have the presence of mind to hold another's hand as we lept to our deaths.

I would also not wish that moment on anyone on the planet.

completely agreed.

it seems somewhat strange that ALL the free to air channels over here in Australia (especially commercial stations) are screaming 'never before seen footage' and 'reinacting the final scenes' and all that twisted **** . i understand americans' need to commemorate this milestone in its history but does the rest of the world need to also? reporters comming 'live from ground zero' are either tempting or hoping for something else to happen so they can get the first streams of footage for their networks. commercialism takes over us all.
