Today is the 25th anniversary of the attacks on Tuesday September 11, 2001. Think about it, a quarter of a century ago this tragedy occurred. And many of us remember like it was yesterday. Everyone is going to reflect on the innocent people that were lost and what they were doing, who did what and what really happened and all conspiracy theories. But like always, we’re doing something different. We are looking at the present day and the future. And we are asking if were any safer today than on September 12th, 2001.
Although we have the Transportation Security Administration, and federal agencies can converse with CIA, and we have a “no-fly” list for airliners, pilots are packing heat and we have lawmen on some flights. The answer is a resounding no. The afternoon of September 11th, George Bush should have issued an executive order banning all citizens from majority Muslim nations. The Speaker of the House should have called a special session of Congress to pass a law or refine the Heart-Cellar Act. They didn’t. ICE and Customs should have rounded up every Muslim that overstayed their visa or violated any law. They didn’t. Is it profiling? Yes. But, it wasn’t members of the IRA piloting those aircraft. It wasn’t Buddhists, or Hindu’s. The border should have been closed. It wasn’t closed until 2025! Then the dumb US Government sent millions of dollars to Afghanistan for “humanitarian aid.” The Taliban controls Afghanistan! 40 million a week!
When we left, we left millions of dollars of our military equipment and literally millions of dollars of cash! We armed and funded the Taliban! Thank you Joe Biden!
Even after 9/11, this nation has been flooded with immigrants from Muslim nations. Just look at parts of Brooklyn, Minneapolis and Dearborn. Then look at all the attacks from Muslim extremists since September 11th: The Boston Marathon Bombing, the shooting at Fort Hood, the vehicular homicide in Manhattan, the vehicular homicide in New Orleans, 5 soldiers in Chattanooga, One dead and one injured at a recruiting center in Little Rock, AR, 14 dead in San Bernadino, 3 dead at NAS Pensacola and 49 people killed at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, one dead and two injured at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. In 2006 a former student at the University of North Carolina injured 9 when he drove his rented SUV into a crowd of students. Then there’s the mall stabbing in St. Cloud, MN. Luckily no one was killed. We could also count John Mohammad terrorizing the Washington, DC area, but he was killing people as a plot to assassinate his wife. We could go on and on about all the incidents. And these are the plans that weren’t thwarted or were successful!
A quarter century later, we’re in Iran. Trump says its to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons. Our friends in high places say we’re in Iran to prevent Russia and China from getting oil from Iran. Either way, it’s not working. We could have made a deal with Iran by buying all of Iran’s oil at a higher price than China and Russia. New York City elects a Muslim Mayor with extremist ties! Muslims attacked the city twice (1993 and 2001). 3,000 people dead, hundreds of first responders, construction workers and volunteers dead! Meanwhile our nation is being invaded!
A quarter century later and Muslims were responsible for the death of 3,000 Americans. And it seems like nothing was done about it.
