9/11
Growing up, I always wondered. Would I ever experience something extremly drastic? Something that would probably change the way the world we know works? Something that would alter our views and perception of other people?
Five years ago on this day I did. The attack on the World trade center in New York was´nt the worst thing that had happened in the past decade. Millions of people had died before in wars, of starvation or genocide in the ninties alone. But it was the worst thing you could see with your own eyes, horrendous and unrealistic.
Our world has changed since that day. To the worse I do belive in many aspects. We should always remember 9/11. But we should never forget the people who´s lifes are lost far away from tv-cameras and prime time coverage.

To everyone that lost their lifes in 9/11; R.I.P.

That's a nice post. Really like the picture too, very beautiful.
hi! Just came across your blog as I was looking for blogs on Sweden. Yours is very interesting and informative as well. I'm glad I bumped into it!
Remember not only the 3,000 Americans who vanished five years ago, but the 60,000 plus civilian Afghans and Iraqis killed by the stupidity of the Bush administration in the following five years. Unlike the repeated replays and publications of images at the World Trade Center, not many images of how these people suffered and died, and how their families grieved were ever seen. These people existed, suffered or died as innocently as the Americans; their fate was sealed on that same day but there is no memorial, no books, TV programmes and movies to remember them. I hope they are not forgotton by the world.
