I am a “never forget” person. The attack on 9/11/2001 changed me as it changed our country. We have enemies we must constantly be on guard against, and they are foreign and domestic. The domestic failure showed an enemy of complacency and inattention in the FBI and federal govt, of political and bureaucratic silliness and self promotion leading to gross incompetence. The foreign ones proved evil, effective, determined. I can’t forget this juxtaposition as I review the world 17 years later. Our governments are corrupt; we are corrupt in our acceptance of corruption, weak of mind and body and spirit. Only a vast and terrible event will ever turn our silly flatulent complacency, while a lean, desperate and vengeful enemy awaits to exploit our every weakness. Our moral turpitude inspires the enemies certainty of their cause.
