19 years ago the world saw some of the most cruel terror attacks in existence. More than 15 years later the pictures on most of our heads are still as present and real as they were back then. And that’s a good thing. Even though we probably did not learn the ‘right’ lessons following those attacks.
Let me get one thing out of the way. I’m not a US citizen, I have never been to the US nor do I plan on going there (besides for my friend’s wedding some time next year). I had a trip planned once but it fell through because of the events of 9/11 (the trip was planned for October that year). I am also not overly sympathetic with the “American Way Of Life” a la “USA USA USA” but that doesn’t negate the fact how I felt during those 9/11 attacks. Moreover, and I know those comments are coming, I don’t forget or ignore those deaths of thousands of people in other terror…
