    And those that continue to suffer and pass as a result of that day.

    My wife and I visited NYC last year and as such we walked around the site that was once the Twin Towers. The site is huge and the devastation in such a large city eight years on was still apparent. We walked past a 10-11 meter long bronze Memorial wall outside the Fire House right next door to the Twin Towers. It showed moments from the day. One of the fire fighters that attended that day was telling a tour group about his experiences and experiences of other fire fighters. It was truely heroic listening.
    Large adjoining buildings to the site later had to be demolished due to damage sustained and then asbestos dust bellowing throughout the buildings. It was deemed cheaper to demolish and rebuild than to thoroughly clean the buildings fit for use again.

    A friend we stayed with has family that was a fire fighter and attended that day and the following weeks. He is now suffering from asbestosis and does not have long.

    great powerpoint. I bet they never thought something that took so long to build would take such a short amount of time to be destroyed, and both towers at once.

    So much that was good died that day.
    My 10 year old and I sat and watched a Documentary on what happened that day a few weeks ago and I had to explain it all to her as the show went on.
    Just telling her I felt dirty in the sense that my generation has failed to hand on a safer place for our children to grow up in.
    The terrorists have won, Airport security, taking pictures in certain places prohibited all means that they have achieved their sick aims of restricting our freedoms.
    It makes me mad when I hear people calling for the return of our Troops from Afghanistan when they are helping to rehabilitate a country that fostered such hatred through the brutal regime of the Taliban.
    I'd rather have Al Quaida fought over there than over here.

    While it was a very sad loss of life, it's funny how no one ever gives a rat's arse about the places America blows the **** out of wasting heaps more civilian lives.

    Four Corners has a two part story on USA in Iraq. Part 2 is next Monday, but I think Part 1 would still be on the ABC website (ABC Australia). Some interesting comments by ex CIA intel officer (Iraq specialist) on George W. Bush policy of guns over negotiation (or good administration). In short, how gung ho confrontationalist policy has turned the population from welcoming and hopeful to the current mire where the USA (and allies) are viewed as occupiers instead of what could have been and should have been.

    Don't forget Saddam and Al Qaeda were mortal enemies. There was no Al Qaeda in Iraq, thus the unjustified WMD excuse for the invasion and the widespread and not unjustified belief that the invasion, and all those lost lives on both sides, is about securing oil supplies.
