After September 11th

The memory of 9/11 runs deep. I’m becoming convinced that few in Europe truly understand just what that really meant to us, the anger and the hatred it raised. It’s not the kind of thing we get over. We’re not going to forget it. We haven’t forgotten Pearl Harbor, either. That doesn’t mean we consider Japan an enemy, but it does mean that we did what we needed to in order to make sure Japan would never do anything like that to us again. When we truly decide to solve a problem, we try to solve it permanently. And we’re not going to forget 9/11. On some level or another, it’s going to be a major political issue here for the next few decades, until we’re convinced that the danger is gone. Arab extremism is no longer something that happens a long ways away and that we can ignore, so we aren’t going to. It is their problem, but 9/11 made it ours. Now we’ll solve it. - Steven Den Beste

One-third of Germans under age 30 believe the U.S. government may have sponsored the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, according to a poll published Wednesday. And about 20 percent of Germans in all age groups hold this view, according to a survey of 1,000 people conducted for the weekly Die Zeit. The poll also said 68 percent of all Germans felt the media had not reported the full truth behind the attacks, in which some 3,000 people were killed when hijacked planes were crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. - Reuters
