RE: 18 Years Ago Today - A Freewrite
Guess that is just one of those days that most of the people around the globe still remember in full detail..
It is one of the most disruptive tragedies that happened during my lifetime, but does it really justify killing more than 250000 civilians in Iraq, Iran and Pakistan? Not even including over 500000 civilians that have died in Syria since 2011?
Numbers might be even higher since I only found data from a 2018 report
I guess that is a big no - But I like your honesty about a narrative that has been pushed onto everyone. I'm not even from the US or North America, but remember that our television channels did not cover ANYTHING else for the next 2-3 weeks and everyone was talking about it.
Whatever happened there and whoever was behind the attacks, or whether it was orchastrated to justify wars for power, territory and valuable gains, it HAS changed the whole world and everyone living in it.
I agree, and yes that day changed many things and the consequences reached way beyond The United States. While I personally think it was just a continuation of many of the things happening prior, it had a huge impact on so many individuals.
I had no desire for this post to be political but have to say I very much disagree with the events after, as an American and as just a fellow human being. This world is a crazy place.
