The Many Horrors of 9/11

The angels rejoiced over the deliverance of Israel at the Red Sea.

God, the creator if the Universes, was sitting in a corner weeping. The angels asked why God was weeping when the enemies of Israel were defeated? I am weeping said the maker of the universe for the dead Egyptians washed up on the shore - somebody’s sons somebody’s husband, somebody’s fathers.” From an Hasidic tale.

9/11/11 should be a day of mourning for the victims of the attacks, the inglorious invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, brutality of enemy prisoners of war, killing of United Nation’s soldiers, civilians and soldiers of the invaded countries, the horror of stealth bombers, denigration of the people of Islam and serious losses to our constitutional rights like Illegal wire and phone tapping by police and FBI and CIA, Illegal searches of American citizen’s person and property.

We can rejoice that our country maintained peace and prosperity at home but we cannot forget that we have caused mayhem in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11.
