--Today marks the 4th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 attacks upon America--

A fireball erupts from the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York City after a hijacked passenger jet crashed into it on September 11, 2001. Another hijacked jet had crashed into the north tower about 15 minutes earlier. Both of the 110-story skyscrapers soon collapsed completely. Hijackers crashed a third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a fourth hijacked plane crashed in Pennsylvania. The terrorist attacks, which killed about 3,000 people, were the deadliest in United States history.

Let us never forget...

There's a long thread on this subject in the General Discussion forum. None of us are ever likely to forget.

With my bad memory you would think I would forget. Still clear in my mind

Basically, because the U.S. represents the foremost supporter of things not militant, global muslim (as in, only a muslim world should exist). Eventually, Australia would be on the list, as well a great many muslims worldwide that do not support the same views. Roll Eyes

I do not beleive taht the USA "represents the foremost supporter of things not militant,".
Regardless of intentions, the USA is one of the most militaristic countries on the planet!
It is not logical to say that the only country to use A-bombs in anger is not a warlike state is ignorant and imbecillic. (Sorry, H).
While, internally it is a weak state, it is of a very violent nature, and one cannot say that these attacks were entirely unprovoked.

Being a student of current affairs and political matters, I'm of the firm opinion that the general American public have short memories. Unfortunately, if we aren't reminded with pictures and video, the 9/11 attacks will be rendered no more than a footnote in history.

It's a sad state of affairs, indeeed, but it's what is.

I suppose the normal response to this would be that, if it were ignorant and imbecillic, you would have understood it.
(Sorry, Flt.Lt.Andrew).
Are you familiar with the "out of context" term? The statement was:
"the U.S. represents the foremost supporter of things not militant, global muslim." Both adjectives modify muslim, not the U.S., whether applicable or not.
To rephrase it for you:
"the U.S. represents the foremost supporter of things not global, militant muslim."
As to "it" being a weak state -- "we" aren't. Similar to the United Kingdom, we are 51 united individual states, each with our own governments; admittedly, some of us are weaker than others and, thus, some of us are stronger than others -- individually. Shocked
