4 Years On From September 11th

Da Wizard watched the trajedy unfold whilst playing in a pool competition in Bali, Indonesia. Four years on here are my thoughts.

1. Da Wizard cried on the 12th listening to the heart rendering messages of those that knew they were gonna die called home for the last time.
2. We all agreed when the Guard at Buckingham Palace played the Star Spangled Banner. We were all New Yorkers that day.
3. Da Wizard had to wonder what would motivate an intellectual like Mohammed Atta to do such a heinous thing.
   
4. Israel's abuse of the Palestinians has to be dealt with to avoid this happening again. We cannot continue to apply international law selectively and we need to solve the Palestinian problem. Islam has a great cause in Palestine so let's fix it thenwe can really see if Islam is a religion of peace or not
5. Islamic clothes are now often worn in Indonesia and the 9/11 killers have become heroes in the Muslim world. 9/11 has polarised our world.
6. The very freedoms that we claim to defend have been taken away by the 9/11 killers.
7. Please don't tell me that all religious extermeists are the same. Pat Robinson is a wanker but he isn't crashing planes into Mecca.
8. If 9/11 hadn't happened Da Wizard would not have researched the Middle East so well... I think that means that the terrorist act was a success. If they hadn't committed that awful act then we would not be discussing Palestine today all over the world. How sad to have to admit that terrorism works.
