Ten years ago today, the World Trade Center buildings were brought down by religious extremists. All of us know that, except perhaps a couple of conspiracy minded individuals on here who believe it was the work of the United States government.
However, who did it is irrelevant now. Even how many died has been eclipsed by the hundreds of thousands of civilians and thousands of U.S. servicemen who have now been killed in the way.
For ten years, we've world-wide been living in the aftermath of a conspiracy put forth by a handful of extremists.
It's just truly amazing to me the overwhelming effect that a few people can have for bad, and how because of that harm done so many can do so much harm in response out of hatred and fear. Out of reaction.
The lesson really to be learned from all this is: do not strike back without thought. Do not buy into collective fear. If there is cause for action, take it, but don't take action without cause.
