Take A Mawk on the Mild Side

It really is lamentable, during the current slurry of tenth anniversary programming of 9/11 that not one of the relatives and lovers of the victims have questioned and researched deeply into why that day happened.

It seems, like under every straightforward and safe tract of negative liberty that talking heads appear and show only emotions of anger at the event. They are victims and they're mad at being the victims. Of course the people making these shows want this to appear to the camera as it's good copy.

There is a very refreshingly educating part in one of John Pilger's documentaries where a Jewish father lost his daughter to a Hamas attack. He doesn't sit in front of the camera in a perplexing state of wallowing: he wanted to know and understand what made this attack happen in the first place. He could then go and sympathise with the reasons behind him losing his daughter.

9/11 was a tragedy but it could have been averted. It created an emotional vacuum in the West which was undoubtedly intended when the plot was designed. However under Clinton, under Bush, it could have and should have been averted. However this would not be on a lot of collective memories.
