9/11 A Tragedy for The Last 10 years!

I don't have to explain what I am about to say, but let me give a little history on my family and I!

My grandparents came to America in WW2 for prosperity! Not that we were poor in Madeira, but America needed help and my grandparents rose to the occasion! Things were so bad that rat was the meal most of the time on the voyage by ship to the US. They landed and worked in New England had a daughter and years later after the war returned to their country with my aunt.

When my Aunt was 16 she wanted to come to American and so she did. Many years later the process of getting all the family here began. Of course some that stayed behind are much better off today since Madeira is for the rich and famous, but who would of know then!

I love this country! I have issues with waste in government because I was exposed to it! I sometimes could not sleep at night because my conscience, I knew it was wrong what was happening both at the FAA and Military by contractors! However I did my best to do the "right thing" and then after my accident had to go on disability!

This being said, I am apauled that we pay so much attention to 9/11 but have learned little since then. America has been bombing countries in the name of pride and oil. We Americans have been lied by our leaders and in the process over 5000 soldiers have died. That is almost twice the number that died in 9/11.Where is their event annually and every decade?

Don't get me wrong we should not forget, but more important we should remember that sometimes what you do to others comes back to bite you! We as a country don't work as a unit! If you look at government, within the same organization they don't work as a unit! If we payed more attention to doing "things right", having accountability in our leaders and government workers and caring for our citizens maybe we would treat the world a little bit better!

Terrorist exist everywhere. The Oklahoma bombing was by one of us! But we did not go to war with Oklahoma! We sometimes cause our own problems! We destroy country's and then rebuild them! We kill and torture in the name of security and then we don't expect it to be done to us! We react and put policies and organizations into place that waste our money and provide a false sense of security (TSA) and consider our citizens guilty until sexually groped to be proven innocent! We have become an insane nation. We have lost liberties since 9/11 in the name of security!

When we thing of those that died on 9/11 we should especially think of the 5000 and counting that have died since then! We should think and fix the all the implementations that cause us so much money and provide no value to citizens.

So their will be tears in coming days and much pom-pass for the limelight! There will be speeches, recordings never heard and at the end of the memorial what will we go home with?

Still fighting two wars, still inadequate security at our boarders and I don;t mean a Mexican wall (stupid). No government accountability by leaders or employees and a disaster waiting to happen either within our borders by our citizens or from external sources!

What have we learned from 9/11? Well you be the judge of that!
