As of 9 minutes ago, it is September 11th. I wonder what the world's reaction will be today. I don't doubt that the American news media will at least mention it, but I wonder what the rest of the world will do since most other countries have moved on and seemingly mostly forgotten.
I believe we should remember and honor those that died that day, but at the same time I can't help but remember all the stuff that happened in the aftermath. Many things the government has done to "protect our security" (such as the Patriot act) I strongly disagree with. The wars and freedom-sacrificing laws that have been passed since then have tainted September 11th for me to the point that I now don't always remember and reflect about September 11th 2001 as I should, but instead get angry about what has transpired since.
I shall try to remember and reflect on the right things.
