It was one of the first tragedies in my life where I can remember vividly where I was at the time it happened. I can recall the entire days events as if they were yesterday. I can also remember the one year anniversary. I wore a symbolic American flag tie, while two of my co-workers wore all black. That was a time of change for me. It was smack dab in the middle of some paradigm shifting, and today my entire perspective has changed. Today I would have wore all black as well. My focus now is more on the lost than on bucking up and showing my true American pride. And not only for those that suffered that fateful day, but also for those that continue to suffer as a result.
And now on the Sixth Anniversary, the man behind the whole thing has surfaced again.
There are two solutions to stopping it. One is from our side, and it is to escalate the fighting and killing against you. This is our duty, and our brothers are carrying it out.
The second solution is from your side. I invite you to embrace Islam. —Osama Bin Laden
It appears Bin Laden is in fact alive, and still loathing all things American. I feel like I may have watched one too many movies, but I can’t help but wonder why we can’t eliminate this man. The entire world is resigned to the fact that he’s in Pakistan.
