What you do...on this day...

A moment of respect for the fallen.
Reflection, then a sense of pride.
Still we stand.

Yeah, I was. If I didn't hear about it, it probably wasn't important.Jericho Veronus wrote:You're shittin' me, right?!?Oxygen wrote:who died
I absolutely love how iraqui citizens are suffering as a response to this attack. We can all agree that sept. 11 was quite a day, but the amount of innocent casualties in iraq is just flabergasting and overshadowing. Can you guys think about the attack's kills for me? I'll do what not many other have done and actually dedicate my moment of silence to the iraqui victims of the us retaliation. Thanks.92,489 – 100,971 violent civilian deaths as a result of the conflict.

A source that doesn't even need to be checked and that ANYONE can post on, not to mention the "primary sources" it uses don't all clarify what they deaths were directly, physically caused by, and in cases that they do,never say who fired the shot, made the IED or dropped the bomb.
Not to mention you fail to recognize how many Iraqi deaths had been a result of actions by those organizations the US is over there fighting, and oh yes there were plenty. And the fact that the Iraqi government SANCTIONS every organized attack and assault that has taken place on their soil since the war has started. Never taking into account how many of those civilian casualties would have died because of these organizations anyways or how many civilian lives were saved BECAUSE the U.S. responded.
And all that's just the tip of the iceberg that not only are you shaming the memory of U.S. citizens that died in 9/11 for dedicating your moment of silence to the Iraqi's on this day rather than them,but also the memories of the police and firefighters who died that day trying to save lives,as well as the memories of any U.S. or any ally soldier who's died in the war since
