Pearl Harbor was a raid that took down a ship on a island in the middle of the South Pacific. 9/11 paralyzed the greatest city in the world for months. It took down hundred’s of thousands of jobs. It involved civilians not soldiers. Sorry Brian but as much as I agree with you on alot of things you just dont get this one. Pearl Harbor has miniscule compared to what happened in NYC 10 years ago.
Have you spent much time in NYC? It is not about being uplifting. The city is full of memorials. Every where you go there are memorials. It is about the history of the greatest city in the greatest country of the world not about uplifting your world with art.
As for terrorism, I dont see it being the political weapon you are making it out to be. Right now its about the economy in this country and not much else.
