Sept 11
The ad never ran and glad it didn’t because there’s no correlation whatsoever to be made between the tsunami and the September 11 attacks.
However it helps put things in perspective for many Americans because I think we only feel terror if it involves a plane crashing into a building but we don’t blink twice at our acts of terror that killed so many more in the form of war, bombings and raids.
Watching the memorial service online this morning, the feelings are definitely still raw. I hope we never forget 9/11, or 3/11, 7/7, 9/4, or 11/26 for that matter and I hope that in the end, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars won’t be pyrrhic victories.
