A date that everyone remembers with horror and sadness. The loss of innocent lives. The tributes and monuments and vows of “we will never forget”. Even here in my faraway corner of the world, I feel nothing but sorrow for the undeserving victims of that fateful day.
But what about the hundreds of Iraqi and Afghan families scarred by American ammunition on a daily basis? The loss of their children? The damages which were not limited to a pair of twin towers, but entire cities? Where are their tributes? Where are their wreaths and monuments of remembrance? Why don’t they have anniversary documentaries? Who “will never forget” them?
Are they worth less because they’re not as well heard as you?
