In memoriam
We should not forget those who were killed in the World Trade Centre on this day four years ago. Their unnecessary and brutal slaughter by Al Qaeda fanatics should stand as a sharp reminder to us all of the dangerous age in which we live, an age made more dangerous than ever by the fanatical beliefs, so ably promoted by power hungry "religious" leaders in the Middle East, of a disaffected and militant youth who have grown up in the West.
As we remember the fallen, it behoves us to be vigilant, but it also behoves us to seek to find ways to address the issues which give rise to this ready supply of psychopathic fanatics and to create a world in which they are marginalised and eradicated.
Si vis pacem; para bellum.

People died in the Pentagon too, my friend.

Indeed they did - and in the aircraft whose passengers refused to allow the terrorists to do their filthy work. We should honour them all as victims of a sick and twisted religion fueled and driven by deceit and hatred.
