Remembering 9/11
Icetek
For what its worth to Aussies, today is September 11 2013.
On this day 12 years ago an event happened that changed the world. As millions of people around the world where watching their TVs in as much disbelief as any American was, the world shared a brief moment of unity, emotion and tears.
As 19 hijackers, overtook 4 planes that would lead to the deaths of a little under 3000 people including those on the planes.
This day changed my life as i ended up joining the Army at a young age only to be lucky to get out of Iraq/Afghanistan alive with all my limbs.
Today i salute all military around the world in the support against terror, i salute the innocent people who have died and i salute the world for being their for us in our greatest time in need.
FOREVER IN MY.....OUR HEARTS!

911 -When reality hits-
When you kill more people of other country that's nothing. When they kill yours you crying? Fuuu america!
I find it ironic coming from a Serbian. Have we forgotten what your fathers did with hammers that met innocent people in the back of the heads?
Serbia is one of the most oppressed countries in history. Just look at some info on what the Turks had been doing to Serbia for HUNDREDS of years.
So that excuses genociding people based on religion with mass executions by death squads and then trying to cover it up in mass graves? I suppose Hitler is your hero too.
it's completely nonsense for America to destroy country after country in the name of 9/11.
America killed 2 million people in Iraq and more than 800000 people in Afghanistan. US government can't even tell how many people were killed in 9/11 event. which is less than 1000 people. it seems western countries people are more valuable than people from east. By the way Taliban were created by CIA to fight against Russia. Don't forget that. And I guess Australians don't have their own voice or independent policy towards what's going on around the world. Because we are under the wing of America. I guess the fear made Australian people give up on their say. We turn blind eyes on every single nasty work of US. In return they will protect us from ASIAN countries like China and Indonesia. They might invade Australia one day. Well those who think that way. ask them to keep dreaming forever because that will never happen.
But to answer your legit question, America did and does kill civilians yes, but at least is has the balls to declare war first. There will always be casualty of war. However keep in mind America killed more militants then civilians so your argument is a 2 sided blade.
Iraq was not involved in 9/11. There was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq until the US occupation overthrew Saddam, who has been keeping them out.
my family originally came from a country in Africa that had been in a civil war. We asked america for help. And yes they came to help. But my father told me they were so ignorant they started shooting at them. The people who had asked for help! All respect to america but they need to learn not to rush into situations they no nothing about. e.g. Iraq
And? never mind fuuu america and your people at 9/11. Remember when you killed '99 innocent kids when u bombing us. Soo stop saying that this day is worst day in world! And remember Fukushima and Nagasaki they didn't kill civilians? Shut up pls.
Im sorry your country was not worth a nuclear bomb. Japan was because it was expanding into too many countries and needed to be stopped. Its called politics my friend, its that thing that makes the world go round.
I appreciate you took the time to foul mouth my opinion on 9/11 but how about you go and use that energy to stop the corruption and "mafia" driven economy in your own?
Its easy to shit, we can all do it, your problem is you can not wipe your ass correctly.
@Icetek you are wrong (or ignorant) saying that stupid thing. Please tell us where was expanding Japan in Augut 1945, when US drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Using that bombs, US just want to show hos power to Soviet Union...
Here you go.

Japan had asked for peace, was the Atom Bomb not just an excuse to intimidate Russia?
Still though, RIP victims of 9/11
Those two bombs stopped the Japanese death marches dead in their tracks. Many allied POWs survived because of them.
the war against terror
I don't think you can stop terror with war. I think it merely perpetuates the cycle.
My sympathy to the victims and their families of this attack though. It was a terrible thing.
Sorry man, just yea. I dint know any other way to describe how grateful i was that people wanted to take the spear back to sick minded ones.
changed it to "support"
V Good Commenmeration
Even if your country bombed Serbia 14 years ago, I guess that most of you already know this... A lot of innocent civilians were killed during those bombings. But still, I'm sorry for those 3000 innocent people that "were killed" on this day 12 years ago. I'm writing this, even if I know that a lot of you guys on eRep, bullied us about the 1999 bombings, but still, I'll show you that even if you are evil to me and my country, I'm still a good person towards you and your country..
P.S. I don't hate Americans...... I hate their government!
To be fair tho, im Croatian. And i do not hate Serbians at all. But same like your government f@ked up back in those days so will any other. America, China, UK etc etc.
It is unfair to blame any country as a whole. You need to understand, when it is war, rules are forgotten. The ONLY reason 9/11 is remembered is because unlike Serbia declared war on Bosnia Croatia etc..... Those extremists did not. At least back in those days a father can say goodbye to his children before stepping out the door.

Everyone knows that those towers were destroyed by Bush and his friend Osama...
I agree with this...
Yes, in that case you believe we are visited by aliens and they put stuff up our butts as well?
There are trillions of planets in the universe. Somewhere in all that, there has to be an alien with a rubber glove fetish.
LoL, you know what cracks me up so bad......is Bush was such an idiot....how the hell could he plan the attack of 9/11......some of you make no sense....stop a second and think....reality before conspiracy
So you're saying that a guy who lives in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan who is now dead, somehow managed to sneak his followers to the world's sole superpower for a very long time, and then managed to hijack 4 planes and coincidentally, the U.S military are down at the moment. Riiiiiiight.
Osama was trained by the CIA....so yes, he knew very well how America operated.
"Osama was trained by the CIA....so yes, he knew very well how America operated."
That's one more reason to believe that American Government was involved in this. By the way, have you heard about those Illuminati cards? They were published in 1995 with all the things that happened afterwards. Bombing of Pentagon, Falling towers and so on.. Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiwF_aEp4YI
It is proven that families Osama Bin Laden and the Bush family were friends.
And also that both were enriched by the Iraq war, as both have weapons factories.
And dont forget!!!
The kamikaze pilots took flying lessons in America..... come onnn
Zach, they bought a computer game called Microsoft Flight Simulator. Have you played it? If so i will go and say you where trained by America to fly a plane.

NO RL!
Using the death of 3000 innocent people who died a terrible death to gain votes/popularity in an online game...how pathetic is that?
Yea its pathetic considering i went into Iraq and did something about it, while you coward online and talk shit about it. I did more in my 6 years then you will do in your whole life time. You are nothing in this world remember that.
Your 6 years aint worth shit around here because this is an online game. Even if you served 60 years it's still pathetic to use peoples deaths for your own purpose because everyone knows 9/11 happened and we don't need you to remind us every year.

Your arguments suck balls even more than you do.
Aww nothing more to say? You are exactly what your name states, a weasel. What a sad life to come on line and try to troll 9/11. God forbit karma comes back at you and someone in your family dies from a suicide bomber etc. Maybe then you wake up from the fairly land your mommy and daddy shielded you from your life looser.
You should ask Ivcetard about his claims he was there lmao...oh and that he is rich, well paid job, beautiful Mrs, war veteran, well paid job, pool...all his own claims by the way...
Yet when you ask him for a webcam chat to prove he isnt a little bitch 14 year old with a loud mouth...he cowers.
He is nothing more than a keyboard warrior. A sad little nerd
I am dumbfounded about the whole thing I hate Americas GOVERNMENT not "most" of there people I believe yes Bush probably had some inkling about 9/11 how much we will never know but those people in the WTC the Pentagon and Shanks Ville.
Icetek is pathetic.
America loses a couple thousand people in one day, when in Iraq they are busy bombing the shit out of their country and experiencing 9/11 on a 24/7 basis.
Ictek is using a worldwide event to gain popularity and sympathy.
You must be Muslim.
It was a very bad thing that happened. Its not about numbers dead or even who did it. Its about ordinary people losing people they love and what it does to them. It is about how people react in adversity and the sacrifices they are prepared to make for strangers when everything goes wrong. 9-11 is not unique, but everyone has their own rally point.
I remember that day well along with a few other similar events that gave me renewed hope in humanity in all the grief. People's lives changed. Some spiralled into vengeful darkness. Some remained oblivious waiting for the next event to awaken their empathy. Others discovered how good people really are when you remove mundane distractions and have joined the quest to recreate the world as it should be.
Darkness is dispelled as long as a single light shines in a heart.
Events like this remind us to shine or become just another victim.
I empathise with those who lost, and am heartened by those who gained out of tragedy.
9/11 was a dark day the world over. I watched events unfold on TV here in horror and disbelief along with most Aussies here.
9/11 the day that one government killed their own "sons"!
Lets say you are right, still the fact remains people died
Well, do you support bush because he is the one behind it.
