The (Other) End of the Internet

I know I haven’t exactly been what one might call prolific the last week or two, but it seems that there just aren’t enough hours in the day any more. Between running kids back and forth to chiropracter’s appointments and Karate class and attending to the webmaster duties that I agreed to when my wife opened her online jewelry store, there just hasn’t been a lot of time for blogging. Throw in the fact that I’ve been working on another project that takes 12 to 18 hours before it tells me that what I’m trying to do didn’t work and then on top of that, toss in the cold that my wonderful daughter is sharing with me.

Today, however, I’m going to MAKE time for this post and one other. It was six years ago today that a bunch of freedom-hating jerks hijacked some airplanes and ended several thousand innocent lives.

Six years ago, all of America was outraged. All of us were filled with what President Bush described as “a quiet, unyielding anger”. You couldn’t go outside without seeing American Flags everywhere you looked.

Today, all they seem to talk about on the news is getting our troops back home and how wrong we were to invade Iraq in the first place.

I don’t even hear anything in the news about anybody even looking for Osama bin Laden. If you go through those search results, there’s not one mention of trying to find him. Just news his latest video.

I really think that people have forgotten the reasons we sent troops into that part of the world ro begin with. I, for one, am just as outraged by what happened six years ago as I was then - moreso, in fact, because after six years the man who stood before the world and proudly took credit for those atrocities is still running free. Are we just going to let him get away with it while we bicker about other things?
