September 11th this year marks the ninth anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center towers. One would think the news would be more centered on a somber reflection on that fateful day that the United States finally recognized that our newest enemy did not wear a uniform or fly a single flag. It would bring us to far reaches of the globe to fight multiple guerilla wars, and these wars will not end anytime soon. Indeed, I expect there to be more of them in the near future.
Why? The world does not seem to be experiencing a shortage of uneducated, dirt-poor peasants who from the cradle have been taught to value a bunch of paper over human lives. They are goaded on by irresponsible tyrants that are more than willing to dump their sons into a meat grinder for no reason other than their own power trips. These so-called imams and clerics pervert and twist whatever they encounter into a reason to do holy war in the name of God. The fact that these people exist in our modern era seems like some gross anachronism, yet they appear to be thriving in places like Indonesia, Pakistan and Iran.
So, instead of reflection on the 9/11 event, there is instead talk of a book burning in Gainesville. Yes, I know it is a Koran burning, but I say book because that is exactly what the Korean is – a book. It isn’t a magical thing. It is in fact a very plain thing. Books are mundane creations, once unique because of the time and effort it took to hand-write and illuminate an entire volume, but now a product of a massive industry that can crank out untold copies of any drivel. Any modern book you have in your possession most likely has thousands of brothers and sisters throughout the world. In short, while the content of a book might be unique, the book itself is a replaceable and disposable thing.
Everyone from the president of the United States to the pope has come out with their opinion on this book burning, so I suppose it is time for Teddy Roe to put in his two cents.

Well put Theo!
I want to not thank you rather explain to you that 9 years later you are all still cowards. An act that you thought would bring a sure final solution to the United States of America economically and spiritually did not in the end come to fruition.
Sure it was a huge gut punch for all of us. I remember more boozing as I refused to hide in my house in the days and weeks after the attack. Many establishments were near empty with just me and my regular cohorts eating and drinking. We didn’t know what to do, we felt lost our America was hurting but we were not going to hide we knew that was what you 19 soulless pricks wanted.
Many have suffered because of your acts – nearly 3000 that day in September and two wars and 9 years later – 6,805 brave men and women of the US Military have been lost to date.
But we endure. It’s what we do. We are Americans and we know this is the greatest country on earth.
Paraphrasing what Lincoln once said of America – we will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter, fail it will be of our own doing…
And as a fair warning to those that revere the aforementioned 19 cocksuckers: America is not an apologetic, bowing country even though our current adminstration would have you believe this – so tread lightly. Maybe you’ll get your trophy mosque but I can assure you will not enjoy whether it’s a metrosexual bar next door, or the already existing strip clubs I don’t know again we are Americans and we will not forget!
God Bless you America!
A terrible day which will never be forgotten!! Let us hope and pray that those holding the reigns will do their very best in preventing an incident like this, or for that matter, any type of incident, from happening again! For all of those unfortunate individuals who have been caused pain and suffering, may God Bless You and Watch Over You!!
