Sept. 11 Inscriptions Spark Outrage (1 Viewer)

[RightinNYC]

Inscriptions etched into Arizona’s Sept. 11 monument — meant to inspire and capture the horror of the terrorist attacks — sparked the beginnings of a political blog battle this week.

...

A timeline and record of key events and quotes are etched onto a giant angled ring reflected by sunlight in what designers said was intended to capture how Arizona and the nation responded to the attacks, and to remember the strong emotions.

But this week, blog visitors have said they’re shocked at some of the inscriptions, which they describe as political statements against the Bush administration and its war on terror.

One inscription states, “You don’t win battles of terrorism with more battles.” Another: “Congress questions why CIA and FBI didn’t prevent attacks.” And another reads, “Erroneous US air strike kills 46 Uruzgan civilians,” referring to a wedding reportedly hit by mistake in Afghanistan.

Okay. I understand that for some people, simply remembering the victims of 9/11 is not enough. I understand that some people want to look at questionable parts of the attacks, and find out more information about why it happened. And I can even understand that some people want to use memorials like this to make broad, philosophical statements about world peace and other assorted ridiculous ideals.

But what the hell does "Erroneous US air strike kills 46 Uruzgan civilians" have to do with the 9/11 attacks? Why on earth is that **** on a memorial? I personally dont think that anything political should be put on a memorial, but I can't imagine even the most ardent supporter of the other statements backing this one up.

Some people....

I don't understand it, either, and I don't support that kind of thing on a 9/11 memorial. I think it would be best if we could protect our remembrances of 9/11 from all of this bickering we have since engaged in. Maybe even try to recoup that brief moment when we are all just Americans sharing a common, albeit tragic, experience.
