Guys, why not just go the extra step and become Truthers?
First attack on American soil? The alteration of the skyline of New York Fuckin' City? People leaping from the 100th floor? No, that isn't tragic at all! Because it was all faked!
Media and government acting in unison? From whose workbench? Give me the number of the fax machine that gave them their daily talking points, and then tell me who used it.
The reason the response was what it was, is because that was and is the character of the people. When media and government are in unison, it's because the people are in unison. But 7 short years later, nobody can recall that time; we have wiped it from our memories. When W. had a 91% approval rating. When people flew a flag proudly and haters didn't feel ironic about it. It's a period of history that simply we do not acknowledge because we were not ready for a post-9/11 world.
And that is why it'll happen again.
