Ground Zero Memorial Service: 9th Anniversary of Terror Attacks
# – # – #
I empathize with the 9/11 families. I think the 9/11 responders got screwed. I would hope that we can do better in the future.
I blame the political leadership.
We should have the WTC rebuilt in record setting time. Any bully knocks you down, you jump back up and get in the fight. I would, if I was “King”, have selected the three tower design with a larger middle tower that was exactly one foot taller. And. I’d have “faced” it towards the Middle East.
Also if I was “King” I’d have bought every “first responder” a Gooferment employee health insurance plan. And, I’d have ensured that all the families were appropriately compensated for this colossal Gooferment failure. The Gooferment has only one job and that’s to protect us from force or fraud. They failed miserably.
Now, I’d be looking at the kooks who want to burn books or build mosques to mark the conquest. Isn’t that out of the Nazi playbook? The Gooferment has NO role telling them what they can and can’t do with respect to religion. But this is about PR. And, yes, in foreign countries they burn stuff. We’re not responsible for that. But I would “encourage” my fellow citizens to express their opinions to these kooks. I’d proved police protection from bullets to them. However if unorganized citizens want to deliver a load of “barbara streisand” to them, I’d step aside and let the free market operate. Where are these poeples’ relatives and neighbors? (BTW what union iron worker is going to build that mosque?)
BUT, politicians can spare me the faux sympathy and ersatz patriotism.
They failed in their duty because they were too busy jerking around playing political games.
A pox on them.
GBA!
