New York, New York, so good they named it twice.

Me and the Mrs had just came home from an afternoons shopping and, bag laden, I managed to press the remote control button for the TV and went about the business of unpacking the goods we had bought. It was six pm UK time and as I unpacked my eye cought the TV screen and I assumed what I saw was a disaster movie and carried on unpacking. It soon became apparent that it was no movie, this was a real life tragedy unfolding in front of my very eyes. The date was the 11th of September 2001.

I am no fan of America because of it's many tentacles that reach far and wide away from it's shores, influencing other erstwhile sovereignties around the globe to follow their command or dictat. But yet I love that country, it has enriched lives on a global scale that even Britain, in it's glory days, would love to aspire to. The USA gave us an embarrassment of riches that are so diverse it is hard to imagine. From Thomas Edison to Elvis, Scott Joplin and Frank Sinatra to Einstein and the first moon landing...I could go on and on.

But this post is not about America's acheivements, this post is about death and destruction, this post is about hatred of another culture, this post is about creeps that pervade our world (like Bin Laden) and get others to do their bidding to the point of death, no matter how many lives they take with them.

Why did the hard core Muslim fanatics do it? Was it really for the untold number of women they would be able to copulate with in the afterlife? Or was it that they were dupes in a political war against America?

And then, you fanatics, subverting our youth with your distorted view when reading the Quran came to these shores and kill more inocent people who have nothing to do with politics and everything to do with life and living. You disgust me so much that I want to kill YOU! But I wouldn't countenance it, killing for a political cause is not appealing and morally wrong. No, when death comes to me I will revel in the fact it came naturally, not from some fanitical airhead with a father/mother complex who follows the teachings of the likes of Bin Laden who says, yes, kill yourselves in the name of Alah and when you get to the pearly gates tell them I sent you there, all for Islam, of course.

But this blog is not about you Islamist hard core that laugh at death and destruction, this blog is about those that you assigned to death, destruction of buildings is not an issue, the death of those people in the twin towers is:

I have no room to post everyone that died in New York that day, and the death toll keeps rising in the aftermath of the destruction of the twin towers through ill health due to the fall out from their destruction by fanatical despots. You can read of the others that died here as I cannot fit them all into this blog.

The memory of that attrocity that occured on the 11th of September 2001 and the amount of people who died for some Islamic cause will be forever imprinted on my mind until the day I die, naturally, of course. Their cause has already been removed from my mind.

I will not forget!
