I wasn't going to add to the over hyped drama of the day, but I have had one too many pious "moment of silence" emails, PA announcements, and newspaper articles inflicted upon me.

The people who died on 9/11 deserve an honorable remembrance. As such, moments of silence without expressions of profound rage are incredibly hypocritical.

How has our nation honored the deaths of 9/11? By using them as an excuse to for a list of atrocities.

In the name of the 9/11 deaths our nation has taken away our civil liberties, harassed innocent citizens and visitors because they are of Arabic decent or Islamic faith (or are mistaken as such), and invaded a country that had no affiliation with the perpetrators of 9/11.

Our government has lied to us, spied on us, and led us in circles with blame games for their failures. Over a thousand of our honorable troops have died in our immoral and unjustified invasion of Iraq, as well as countless innocent Iraqis (countless because we don't care enough to try and keep tabs). We have bungled the Iraq "rescue" invasion so thoroughly, destroying the Iraqi infrastructure so completely, that for us to pull out now would make us even greater monsters.

We haven't found the mastermind behind the attacks, and have given the Al Qaeda plenty of material to sway new recruits.

With all of these abominable acts upon our heads, how dare we say we are honoring and respecting our 9/11 dead today?

My sympathies to the loved ones of our lost, I am sorry we have so misused their memories.
