A searing, unforgettable event. It blew a hole in our reality, and changed us all.
A savage, devastating attack that unleashed a savage, devastating response:
War in Afghanistan
War in Iraq
War on Terror
Guantanamo
Abu Ghraib
Bush/Cheney Torture Regime
Fear
Hatred
My grand theory: We all suffered from a case of deep PTSD. We all suffered, we all were diminished by the original terror attack, and the over the top, ferocious response. Everyone around the globe felt the effects of it all.
And we are still reeling all these many years later.
Human Beings. We must do better. Remember we are Human Beings first. We have so much more in common, than not.
