The estimated civilian bodycount in Iraq since US Intervention is at the minimum 41,650. Where is the memorial for that? I'm fairly certain most if not all of those people had nothing to do with 9/11 or any kind of evil, scary plot. My bet is that they were everyday people like those who died in New York, though maybe with some obvious religious, ethnic, language, and/or political views. But my point still stands, it's hypocritical to focus on one tragedy because it happened here while overlooking others entirely.
Well, how about this one then. In Iraq since 03/19/2003, 2,666 American soldiers have lost their lives while 19,945 have been wounded. Those are our people and they're being sent to die and kill in a war that has nothing to do with anything relevant to the average American's life. How do they get away with it? Mostly because people love their mindless patriotic drivel, namely by justifying everything, even if it doesn't even stand up to reason or logic whatsoever, by a tragedy that happened 5 years ago.
the main reason the tragedy of iraq has not been commemorated is that it is still taking place. i can garantee you that it is on the minds of every man in power that we find a way to minimize the amount of bloodshed, now that we are in this terrible situation. the only difference of opinion is how this is done.
