The Misuses of 9/11

For many, the ten year anniversary of 9/11 will be an emotionally charged time. People lost friends and loved ones on September 11, 2001, and those who didn’t know people who did.  President George W. Bush had a great opportunity, as did the American people, to use the events of 9/11 to unite us and work together to make the world a better, safer place for all people. Instead, Bush and his White House team used the 9/11 attacks to make money, create disunity among the people, break international law, attack our fundamental freedoms and increase their political power. Here are some of the ways in which 9/11 was misused by those in power and the people in general and how the events of 9/11 are being exploited to this day.

The 9/11 attacks have been used to justify the heinous behavior by a handful of our troops overseas and continuous attacks on civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The 9/11 attacks have brought out our racism and xenophobia and shown our worst character. Instead of a nationalistic ceremony of puffery followed by hatred and fear, my hope is that the anniversary of 9/11 can be, for some, a somber occasion to remember those lost. It can also be a time to rebuff those who have taken advantage of the attacks for personal gain.
