9/11: Have You Forgotten?

We Must Never Forget What We Are Fighting For

Tim Phares
Today is a sad anniversary, the anniversary of the mass murders of thousands of people six years ago by fanatics bent on imposing a narrow, totalitarian ideology on the entire world under the cover of religion.

They flew airplanes into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in the Washington, DC area. The damage would have been worse had the brave passengers of an additional flight not taken it over from the terrorists and crashed it into a field in Pennsylvania instead of its intended target, the Capitol or White House.

These people attacked America, put off by our freedom, our prosperity, and our declining values. They also seek to restore the caliphate - with themselves in charge, of course, like the totalitarians they are.

Although most Muslims detest these people and what they stand for, the media does not want you to hear those voices. Nor does it want to show us what happened on September 11, 2001. Apparently, their political cause will suffer if we remember that the issue is our ongoing war against totalitarianism. Unfortunately, it looks like some in this country would rather score political points than do what it takes to destroy the Islamofascist menace.

Just as we fought to end Naziism and we brought down the Soviet Union, we must engage the Islamofascists in order to preserve our freedom.

Just as a previous generation of Americans remembered Pearl Harbor long after the fact, we must never forget what happened to our countrymen six years ago. Let us take our time today to honor the victims of these terrorist cowards and let us not rest until this particular incarnation of the totalitarian, anti-freedom ideology has stopped bobbing up its head.

Let us never forget.

    I mean... seriously?

    I don't think you realize how much the terrorists are hurting our country. They are sending our brothers and sisters to die, so they can make money. Do you only use one source for news? Halliburton? Reagan? Federal Reserve?

    It amazes me that people still trust the liars who have shown no indication of EVER acting in our best interests.

    There is no conspiracy, politicians ARE corrupt, I guess they don't get paid enough from the govt.

    Tim-I agree we must remember. Though, I fail to see how fighting in Iraq is fighting the people responsible for 9/11/01. Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda aren't in Iraq...perhaps our government needs a geography lesson. Jeff- I think both are equally frightening and dangerous. Alyce- Amen!

    We have to wonder who is going to bring down Nazi USA, which seems to have gotten underway just about the time of the WTC tragedy.

    When you say that there are "fanatics bent on imposing a narrow, totalitarian ideology on the entire world under the cover of religion" Are you speaking of radical Islam, or Dominionist Christian groups? And which is the most dangerous, the one operating from camps and caves, or the one that has a president of the world's most powerful military machine in its ranks?
