Mmm.......I always look at sep.11 with a good amount of salt. A lot of people talk about, look back at and cry when they hear about the towers falling after the planes crashed into them, the gigantic black cloud of smoke that covered entire streets, the 3000-so people who died that day......

......But what about what came after that? The events of september 11 were what sparked the true beginning of the War on Terror, which has brought nothing good for no one, except maybe the death of Bin Laden a decade after.

Torture, indefinite inprisonment and execution of suspects without trial, not to mention the military expeditions, all thanks to the US taking the Ender's Game response; "hurt them so much they never hurt you again". More than 10.000 US citizens have died thanks to this, and the numbers easily surpass the 300.000 if you include the people outside the US who died because of the repercussions of the US's actions.

So in the end, while we should mourn all the victims, which of them deserves them more? The 3000 who died that day, or the myriads who died because of what came after? I choose the latter.
