Default Politics aside: 9-11-01; Let us never forget

unbe****inleavable

????????

I said that:

1. Some groups hoped to bring down the American way of life with the attack.

Is that what you find "unbelieavable"?

Al Qaida and others hailed the attacks for the damage they did the US. So, how
is that not believable?

I said that:

2. Other groups are playing on public fears to try and advance repressive and
reactionary philosophies.

How would that be "unbelievable"?

Every time somebody applauds the suspension of the right of habeus corpus, they
refer back to 9-11. Every time somebdy agrees that we need to surrender our
rights against unreasonable search and seizure, they cite 9-11 as the reason.
Every time somebody says it's no longer important for people accused of a crime
to be awarded a speedy trial before a jury of their peers, they use 9-11 as an
excuse.
Every time somebody says that it's perfectly OK to try civilians before a
military tribunal, 9-11 comes up again. Every time somebody thinks that it's no
big deal to hold people in jail indefinitely without any charges being filed,
we hear all about 9-11.

Maybe you live in a black hole in outer space? You aren't aware that these
arguments are advanced almost every day?

The terrorists knocked down the buildings and killed 3000 people. We tore down
our own Bill of Rights, all by ourselves.

Both groups, the terrorists and the repressive reactionaries are attempting to
capitalize on the fear that 9-11 spawned.
If you cannot, (or more likely "will not") see that, it isn't my perspective
that's flawed, renegade.

9-11 was a disaster, and the consequences of the disaster continue.
Or did you think it was "over" on the 12th?

That you apparently have no opinion beyond the one you have been told to have
is equally "unbeleavable" to me.
