You are right ...Thank you my dear friend Imnakoya. You are right in that the attacks momentarily brought together many members of the human race, but unfortunately shock and awe and fear does not make a very good glue. In the post 9/11 world that we live in today, people are as divided and resentful of one another as ever in history.<BR/><BR/>We should also remember that millions and millions of people around the world took great pleasure in seeing and or hearing about these attacks against America and her friends and allies, as they continue to do today in attacks occuring all across the globe on almost every continent. When I think about the September 11th attacks I often remember the suffering of innocent people in the attacks against the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. These events in Africa in 1998 were just a prelude of what was yet to come.<BR/><BR/>Have a look at the PBS Online News Hour special coverage of the 1998 African embassy bombings:<BR/>http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/africa/embassy_bombing/<BR/><BR/>Note the link at the bottom RH-side of the webpage to the Online News Hour report about President Bill Clinton's War on Terror (Aug 25, 1998). A lot of good that did.BREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09668844948345978806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950796.post-1158247772126896882006-09-14T17:29:00.000+02:002006-09-14T17:29:00.000+02:009/11 was a phenomenon that pulled together all hum...9/11 was a phenomenon that pulled together all humans- regardless of race religion or creed, for a cause. While the actions that led to- and reactions that emanated from it left much to be desired, that day brought out the 'humaness' in all...just as the tone of your blog reflects so well.Imnakoyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110573313679680800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950796.post-1158146224805291172006-09-13T13:17:00.000+02:002006-09-13T13:17:00.000+02:00Thank you for the visit Otolo and I am very happy ...Thank you for the visit Otolo and I am very happy (and amazed) that you and others find my writing enjoyable.<BR/><BR/>My good friend Otolo ladies and gentlemen, from Sierra Leone via London.

Sept 11 is one of those days when everyone remembers where they where. I was actually at work listening to the radio when the first reports started coming in. My mum, had been on a flight to the US only a couple of days earlier. <BR/><BR/>May the souls of all those who are lost in senseless conflicts rest in peace.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512372237021595747noreply@blogger.com
