Not Just Another Disaster Movie
At the Memorial Service I attended today the City of San Diego representative, whose name and title completely escaped me, compared 9/11 to our San Diego wildfires. Not at all the same and a most unfitting comparison I thought. Powerlineblog.com links to this article http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2007/09/11/2007-09-11_we_must_always_remember.html by the sister of one killed on 9/11. She states the difference far better than I:
Misremembering is as dangerous as forgetting. If we must know one thing, it is that the Sept. 11 attacks were neither a natural disaster, nor the unfortunate result of human error. 9/11 wasn’t the catastrophic equivalent of a 3,000-car pileup.
The attacks were not a random actof violence or insanity. They were a deliberate and brutal act ofwar committed by religious fanatics engaged in Islamic jihad against the United States, all non-Muslim people and any Muslim who wishes to live in a secular society. Worse, the people who perpetrated the attacks have explicitly told us that they are not done.
Read the whole thing.
