Comments on 9-11 and the anniversary

It is said that General Grant in the Civil War never cared in the least what his enemy was going to do; he only thought of what he would do to his enemy.  Rather than this nation worrying about what Islamists will do to us on the 10th anniversary of 9-11, let the US instead take it to them on this occasion. What a great day to strike every known al Qaeda target just to remind every one that 9-11 was one great day for them followed by ten years of looking over their shoulders and waiting for obliteration.

Holding Out For A Hero  "As we have already noted, the commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks shapes up as a disappointment–paeans to multiculturalism, peace quilts, and the like. So far, I have seen only one news story that unreservedly celebrates the heroism that was shown by so many on that day. Fittingly enough, it relates to Flight 93."
.... "But have we really reached the point in our liberal media culture when a man can only be hailed for his indisputably heroic actions if he also happened to be gay? "

9/11/11: How to remember  "Like Rothstein, Professor McClay notes the ambivalence and ambiguity that suffuses our memorials and commemorations of 9/11. He characterizes the state of affairs as “a national disgrace.” Yet he finds reason for hope amid the intellectual rubble:"...
Pajamas Media — Ten Years After 9/11  "NRO’s Deroy Murdock discusses the dangerous sanitization of the language of 9/11. People did not “perish “ on 9/11. They were “murdered.” "

Memorializing September 11th   "But it also need hardly be said that the cumulative spectacle of hundreds and hundreds of plaintiffs with their hands out cannot help but take a toll on public sympathies. All Americans felt profound compassion for the families of the victims, but the family members who complained at the size of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund awards — which averaged $2.08 million per victim — or who exploited their standing to support political causes only barely related to the attacks, or who attempted to make money from their status in various ways, have badly strained that compassion."

The decision to treat the 9/11 attacks as acts of war rather than crimes was crucial..  "Civil liberties would certainly have suffered far worse had al Qaeda succeeded in landing a second blow on a par with 9/11. Instead, the Bush administration successfully handed off a secure homeland to its successor. Mr. Obama fumbled with his failed effort to close Gitmo, try al Qaeda leaders in Manhattan, and prosecute CIA officers. Yet reality and political opposition forced the administration to return to many of its predecessor's core terrorism policies.
"In the last decade, our nation has certainly paid a price in the lives of the brave men and women who have defended us. But who would say, after 10 years, that it wasn't worth it to keep our nation safe?"

“You lost the war!” UK MUSLIMS plan to disrupt 9/11 Moment of Silence


"“We will be holding a big demonstration and it’s going to begin at the time the first plane hit the building – when everybody is holding their minute’s silence. “We will be very noisy during that time. It will be to expose the crimes of the American government over the past ten years and showing how they have failed."

People are leaving Islam in droves, but we rarely hear about them. Listen to this narration from an ex-Muslim debunking Islam   "There are many famous people here whom you may not have realized are ex-Muslims."
