I woke up on Sept 11th 2001 and prepared for my first day on a new job. While putting on my socks I flicked on the old tele just in time for the morning hosts on GMA to say 'a second plane has run into the towers'. As the realization dawned that one place could be an accident, but two planes was an attrack, you could hear the nation reel in shock.
While I was fortunate enough not to have lost any friends or family in the towers, I did have family members in NYC and friends nearby. I have just recently managed to recover financially from the events of 9/11. I know that I, and the nation, will never recover emotionally.
This is explains why I am so mad that Bushco chose to use the 9/11 events to further their desire to invade Iraq. Depose a regime on the advice of a few so-called 'neo-cons' in a think tank with the President's ear.
So I urge you to read this very personal story from over on Booman's site. It mentions how the anthrax scare figures into this as well. It's not tinfoil hat time... it's real and it's personal.
