Shock and awe? That was the Muslim approach, not ours.
There is no virtue in mourning. 9-11 has become a commercial enterprise, a media fest, and a bit of a shameful thing. The only difference this year is the attempt to include Muslims themselves among the mourners, as if that mollifies Islam, or will somehow make murderous Muslims more acceptable in the West.
Since when does Muslims killing their own make them all innocent? Since when do collateral martyrs deserve honor as freedom-loving Americans? Since when does the death of anti-American Muslims, those who espouse a religion which is antithetical to the American Constitution, earn a place of mourning among the patriots of the country? 9-11 is one crisis the liberals have definitely let go to waste. Intentionally. The United States should have declared war on Saudi Arabia, since 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis, and Saudis continue to fund all the major terrorist developments in the world even today.
