We must remember the great atrocity of 9/11
Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 08:48 AM by ck4829
This is my post at Anti-CNP, tell me what you think of it.

3 years ago this date, a horrible tragedy struck America. 19
Terrorists using Airplanes struck the WTC and the Pentagon, killing
over 3000 people. We should not and must not sit and do noting while
terrorists are plotting. We also must not sit and do nothing while
certain powerful people are threatening to take away our rights and
freedoms. We can't let people propagate the lie that Bush will
protect us from terror, when the greatest terror attack in American
History happened under his watch. We can't let people like Jerry
Falwell and Pat Robertson get away with blaming terrorist attacks on
Non-Christians, people of Alternative Lifestyles, the ACLU, and other
groups that make America Diverse and Great, and furthermore while
these two were blaming groups that they hated, they forgot to mention
that Pat Robertson had a Diamond mining deal with Charles Taylor who
helped out Al Qaeda, and Jerry Falwell, he forgot to mention that he
has a loan deal with one of the men who owned a Flight School that
trained two of the Hijackers. We can't let an Atrocity become
justification for more Atrocities, like what's going on Iraq,
recently the dead troops past the 1000 mark. These 1000 people are
someone's son, daughter, brother, sister, father, mother, cousin,
and friend, they should have been allowed to live their lives. We
also can't forget the 1000's of Innocent Iraqis and Afghanis dead,
they are also someone important to someone else too. We can't fight
Theocrats overseas, but welcome them with open arms over here with
things like the Constitution Restoration Act of 2004. Let us remember
the Dead, and let not their death be in vain, we should and we must
oppose Theocracy, Intolerance, and Bigotry, no matter what the source
of this hatred is, whether it is Al Qaeda or the Christian Right. And
in closing this I must say that the only way to beat the current
crisis we are facing is to promote Tolerance and Pluralism throughout
the world, for Military Shows of Force and 'Shock and Awe' will not
beat terrorism.

1. Paragraphs would be nice.
I'm sorry, I find it too difficult to read through a big unbroken block of text.

3. Good stuff
I agree with the content whole-heartedly. But I also agree about the need to paragraph it.
