Really Good Article
Anyway, as much as people would like to believe that the would changed after 9/11, nothing has changed. Instead, 9/11 has been used by everybody and it does nothing for the memory of the dead. A case point, Bush used 9/11 to legitimize many things, such as an attack on Iraq.
Another case of point of how 9/11 is being exploited. Using September 11 as a segue, Jim Robinson, an assistant director of the United Steelworkers, said: “This should be a reminder to people that steel is a critical industry for the United States, both strategically and economically. Driving steel out of business economically has the same impact as physical bombings.” The same impact?! Robinson’s comment is despicable. He was talking about, at that time, the recent rise in tariff on steals.
The best way to memorilize those that dies is for us to go and demand that governments all over the world start taking into an account of how ordinary people feel.
