9/11: Never Forget - Never Forgive

In memory of those who died on 9/11, click over to watch what I believe to be one of to that terrible day. I watched it twice - had tears in my eyes both times.

We must never forgive the ideology and its followers that are behind the terror unleashed upon our fellow Americans on that unforgetable day, and we must never forget to remember the signal sent by 9/11:

"Remember the Alamo," "Remember the Maine" and "Remember Pearl Harbor" were rallying cries from past wars. Why do Americans have to be reminded to remember? We had better not forget 9/11 and the signal it sent. The enemy won't forget. For him, 9/11 was a continuation in a long war against America. He thinks he can wait us out. He thinks we're weak and will wilt before his demands in order to save our lives. He is betting everything he is right. Is he?

... If we are to effectively wage this war we have to change our way of thinking. We have thought in the past that people are basically good and any bad behavior in which they might engage is the result of our failure to give them what they want. We must also eradicate terrorist breeding grounds in the United States and Britain, including the closure of facilities that preach and teach hate and sedition.

Here is a video of the WTC horror of WTC attack on FBI tape. While watching it, remember that this is an attack on an American city, one that our enemy intends to repeat - perhaps on your city - and that Islamic fascists like the followers of the Iranian Islamic regime, al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other radical Islamists - Islamic fascists all - have already planned their next attack:

Here is a complete listing of all SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 VICTIMS.

And like spitting in the face of the victims of 9/11 and America itself, on this the weekend before the anniversary of that terrible day, a former president of the world's leading and most dangerous terrorist state, Mohammad Khatami, has been allowed by our government to not only visit the United States, but even deliver an anti-America speech at none other than the National Cathedral. Of his visit, Russell Berman writes at Telos:

... As of this writing, news reports of Mohammed Khatami's presentations are beginning to circulate. Not surprisingly, he refrains from spouting the standard "Death to America" slogans that his Iranian regime has popularized. Instead he recycles his very own standard theme of a "dialogue of civilizations," an intentional alternative to the Huntington thesis of a clash between them. Yet the evidence is mounting that the much touted dialogism of the alleged reformist is actually a transparent effort to pursue the clash. Khatami's invitation to conversation never displays a genuine openness to the purported interlocutor; every gesture of engagement is coupled immediately to a retraction. He cedes no ground.

... A related mentality characterizes his comments on the 9/11 bombers: the crime they committed, according to the Post's report had two facets. It was wrong, according to Khatami, firstly to kill civilians: which certainly sounds as if he implicitly endorses the attack on the Pentagon. His insistence on the protection of civilians is especially grotesque after the recent war in Lebanon in which the Iran-backed Hezbollah held the civilian population hostage as human shields. It seems as if the specifically Iranian way to fight is to sacrifice civilians.
