911 Twelve Years and One Year Later

Well it's September 11th again. Eleven years and one year have gone by. It is 8:46 am and the bells of the churches in Manhattan and Washington D.C. are tolling and the bagpipes are playing as the ceremony is performed. The names are read alphabetically and Mayors Guilliani and Bloomberg stand by. The people still cry when they get to the names of their family that was lost there. Chris Christy and Michael Cuomo are there as well. The politicians will not speak--not that they have nothing to say--we just don't want to hear them.

Every year we go through this ceremony. Every year I get choked up--I saw the buildings come down; I worked as a psychotherapist with some of the family members and a few of the victims who escaped the horrors. It amazes me how we have allowed political correctness to dictate how we pursue those who would kill us, subdue us, and change our way of life.

9:03 am--the second ringing of the bell. A moment of silence. 2753 killed at the World Trade Center. The jihadists celebrated. Some Islamists danced in the streets; in the Middle East, they handed out candy in celebration of their victory. In Guantanamo Bay Prison, we still handle their koran with white gloves because we "respect" their religion and their religion says that infidels are dirty and must not touch their holy book. We are politically correct.

9:08 am--they have been scrolling the names of the victims of bin Laden and they are still reading names beginning with the letter "B." So many names; so many dead. 

Peter King (R-NY) warns us to never forget 911. He spoke about how al Qaeda has morphed into other factions. He speaks on TV but not at the site of the disaster.

9:35--President Obama speaks at the Pentagon. He quotes the Christian Bible--I find that somewhat ironic as I almost expect him to say something about the peaceful religion of Islam. He is wise enough not to say that, but he says nothing about last year's 911 in Benghazi, Libya. We need to hold their feet to the fire; we need to get Hillary Clinton to answer some questions.

9:37--Obama still speaks--there was supposed to be a moment of silence but it didn't happen this year. Obama kept speaking, quoting scripture, not mentioning last year; not mentioning the koran.

And back in New York, they are only up to the "F's". So many people killed for the religion of peace.
