September 11th of this year will be the 10th Anniversary of the worst attack on the US in our history as a nation. It also marks the beginning of this country’s longest continuing engagement in active hostilities. Many will want to focus on 9/11 as a single day and to isolate the victims of those tragic events from what followed but I propose something more comprehensive. Even though we are already three months into 2011, I challenge each and every one of you to make this a year of remembrance. 9/11 was the just the beginning. Since that time many more have fallen in an international war on fascist tyranny. Remember them always.
Never Forget Those Who Died, Never Forget Those Who Killed Them….
Too many people have forgotten the sacrifices of 9/11 and the ongoing war on terror…..

Fascist Tyranny sounds so ambiguous and politically correct… Yet why not call it what it is… The threat is a radical Religion following islam… Some of it’s followers may be moderate, but the religion is not moderate, as anyone can see when reading the teachings of the Qur’an…
A religion that teaches world domination, slaughter, and beheading of anyone who’s not a Muslims, is in no way modrate or peace loving…
It is what it is…
Tim, the reason I call it a war on fascism is simple. It includes operations in Iraq as well as anything we have coming up in other areas. There is no political correctness here, just being more inclusive. If you narrow your field of view to Islam you miss the bigger picture here and exclude everything we have done in Iraq.
Sept, 11th , was clearly a Fascist Dictatorial attack, yet why not say clearly who that is… The teaching of Islam through the Qur’an… Perhaps you don’t see that as a “Big Picture”.
The biggest threat to world wide freedom in history…Today… Pretty inclusive to me
What has changed in Iraq…? The Islamic Fanatical Religion is still killing anyone who stands in the way of the empowered element. We just call it Democracy today… Unlike the Constitutional Republic our country was founded on…
When we invaded Iraq it wasn’t to fight Islam. Rather, it was to displace a tyrannical fascist leader. Sadam was one of the last of the Nasser Arab nationalists. Oddly enough, this latest round of troubles in the Middle East is displacing a couple of Sadam’s contemporaries. If you want to fixate on Islam you play right into the hands of those opposed to the war. At some point you have to acknowledge that evil doesn’t require religion to exist.
If you are insistent that this is a war with Islam how do you justify operations in Iraq?
It’s also the 100th Anniversary of the 1911 😉
So very true and I happen to know that that anniversary is being observed all year.
