Are we forgetting the heroes of 9/11?

As a firefighter that assisted with the recovery effort following 9/11, I am appalled at the actions of our federal government in handling the issues that the first responders are facing.  They should never be forgotten, and those that are still alive should be given the best care possible.

Yeah, people tend to forget about the people who died. x.x It's the big hole in their theory.

Osama Bin Laden\nAyatollah Khomeni (sp?)\nMalcom X\nSaddam Hussain\nThe guy who piloted one of the planes into the WTC\n\n/notice any trend here?/

You better believe it's time.  They are over there for no reason.  Our government got who they wanted, but the person that they got had NO RELATION to the terrorist attacks on the WTC's and the Pentagon.

It would seem not in many cases, especially viewing some of the responses about this question.  Lack of historical or historical amnesia is a big problem.\n\nReminds me of the quote, "in order to save them, we had to kill them.'  It seems we have to kill civil liberties in order to keep civil liberties.

No. This is a lie. Many people from many nations died in 9-11, including Israelis. This lie is told by people who want to blame 9-11 on the jews. This is wrong. Muslim extremists flew planes into the WTC. Don't get swayed by idiots.

From the Unites States web site http://usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2005/Jan/14-260933.html :::\n\n""A total of 2,071 occupants of the World Trade Center died on September 11, among the 2,749 victims of the WTC attacks. \n\nAccording to an article in the October 11, 2001, Wall Street Journal, roughly 1,700 people had listed the religion of a person missing in the WTC attacks; approximately 10% were Jewish. \n\nA later article, in the September 5, 2002, Jewish Week, states, "based on the list of names, biographical information compiled by The New York Times, and information from records at the Medical Examiner's Office, there were at least 400 victims either confirmed or strongly believed to be Jewish." \n\nThis would be approximately 15% of the total victims of the WTC attacks. \n\nA partial list of 390 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who died (out of 658 in the company) lists 49 Jewish memorial services, which is between 12% and 13%.\n\nThis 10-15% estimate of Jewish fatalities tracks closely with the percentage of Jews living in the New York area.""\n\nHOWEVER, the antisemites among us wont ever believe this truth, and the ones on and off the internet who keep the lie going that the Jews were forewarned, are usually tied to the Arabs.

I think there was more to the high-jacking than we have been told. Why I do not know...There has been a lot of talk about the way the twin towers fell. \nThank you for sending this I have enjoyed.

Maybe because muslims killed Americans in their own country?  Or do you think 9/11 has been forgotten about?

I can't believe you have already ignored the most recent past. The criminals were those Arabs who attacked the USA on 9-11 in New York and Washington. They are the ones who "interfered" with our way of life.\n\nAll we're doing is attempting to bring those who attacked us to justice. Why don't you admit that the USA has the right to protect itself against those who attacked us?\n\nTX Guy

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYes, absolutely ... there hasn't been a week since 9/11/2001 that the terrorists have not attacked key targets throughout the U.S. ... and here we are defenseless against those scoundrels! How dare George leave us here without protection!\n\nHonestly, and realistically, we have been fortunate that there has not been any more bonafide terrorist attacks on our soil since 9/11. Perhaps that is because our troops have been overthere, taking the fight to them! Chances are very good they were hesitant to act here, because we were close to their loved-ones and their training facilities!\n\nI think the Dems have actually jumped onto another popularity bandwagon, and given the Islamic forces against us a "moral" victory and exposing us to greater threats!

Too often we forget,but today is to remember that we should remember everyday the sacrifices of men and women to keep us free. It looks like they're getting so little gratitude from those they're helping, help them to realize the gratitude that should be in all of our hearts for their incredible job well done. To all the military personnel at home and abroad, thank you!

I think the terrorists planned to use 9/11 because it would indicate that the "day the U.S. called for help." But in my thoughts, I don't think the terrorists got as far as they hope. From historical references, people claimed there were more terrorists but Bush grounded all flights, and the towers held long enough to keep thousands more safe.

They are.  They are trying to instill fear to impose their beliefs on the world.  They are trying to "terrorize" the rest of the world to bend it to their will.  While we have committed some mistakes, like those stupid weekend warriors in Abu Grave....  we are not trying to "terrorize" anyone, in fact we are working to bring hope, prosperity and freedom, while looking after our own national interests.  Are we perfect?  No, but our intentions and actions as a whole are sound.  People need to keep things in perspective.  19 men on 9/11 took action to cause terror in our country, they actively tried to kill as many innocent civilians as they could, and as sad as it is, they did a damn good job.  We actively try to keep innocents out of harms way.  Before we went into Falujah, we showered the city with leaflets telling them when we would be coming in, and to stay indoors and out of the fire.  This act put American lives in danger, while protecting the civilians in the city.  People who claim that the military and the Bush administration do not care about lives lost need to consider this and many other actions, and to keep things in perspective.

The only person I can think of off hand who was supposed to be there and was not was Sarah Ferguson, "Fergie", Prince Andrew's ex-wife.  She allegedly had a meeting scheduled in one of the offices, but her taxi was slowed down because of a traffic jam.\n\nI do not know if this answer gives the answers you are looking for.  I agree that a lot of questions remain to be answered about September 11, 2001.  I once asked a question on Yahoo! Answers to that effect, but it was erased because of a "No Best Answer" vote.  A lot of people do not seem to like it when people ask legitimate questions about September 11, 2001, thinking that skepticism about certain incidents is a callous disregard for the people who were killed.  I do not agree.  Many of the victims were hard working people who were not "big takers" and were not even rich.  I thought the terrorists did not like the ones who were  like George W. Bush.  Neither the terrorists or the government make sense to me.

Yes. Shouldn't we be very proud of those that defend the Homeland. Whether it's Bush or a local cop, they still put in their efforts. All of those efforts performed in a united fashion makes us safer as a nation.

Good question. \nDo a web search for the movie Loose Change for those of you who haven't seen it. I promise it will make you start to question what actually happened on 9/11.
