[911] by the dawn's early light

At a time when America is being sold down the drain, when its citizens are losing their freedoms, this dawn in Britain is when I shall remember 911 and say to the American people that our thoughts are with you.


It's that day again, another year on. Ours not to get into THAT debate today about who knew and who didn't. The thing was, many people died or were hurt and the psychological scar will always remain in America's mind, the terrorists not having taught America any intended lesson at all but only producing anger inside and a determination never to succumb.

Lord Nazh summed it up in 2007:
This is the day to say to your children that the U.S. will NOT back down; will NOT lightly lose 3,000 of its precious people. On this day, 6 years ago, the country became one like it has only a few times in the history of this great land. That should be remembered ... and mourned.


There is no justification for the killing sprees of malcontents and for people whose own concerns have a far higher priority than that of other people's lives. These debased people live in ignominy but the ordinary citizen will hold his head high and rise above it. Malcontents - you will always lose in the end.

  1. I suspect IRA support was always from the faux-Irish, consumers of green beer and desecrators of patron saints days. They are more Irish (in their own estimation) than the native Irish. They also gave us a dynasty of corrupt (redundant!) politicians. A pox on them all. I suspect if Ireland was united they'd revert to fighting between the counties....

    Empire did bring both good, bad, and unintended consequences. Money plus power always equals death and corruption.

    I was thinking of class as showing decorum and compassion, not pro anything or anybody. Am I suffering from that separated by a common language problem?

  2. Am I suffering from that "separated by a common language" problem?

    Not in my book nor on this blog. I see little separation between educated people on both sides of the pond.

    This post was to cement bonds and that's what it's going to do.
