How Soon We Forget....

Here's what's happening in our world.

Newsweek
April 10, 2006 issue - If movie trailers are supposed to cause a reaction, the preview for "United 93" more than succeeds. Featuring no voice-over and no famous actors, it begins with images of a beautiful morning and passengers boarding an airplane. It takes you a minute to realize what the movie's even about. That's when a plane hits the World Trade Center. The effect is visceral. When the trailer played before "Inside Man" last week at the famed Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, audience members began calling out, "Too soon!" In New York City, where 9/11 remains an open wound, the response was even more dramatic. The AMC Loews theater on Manhattan's Upper West Side took the rare step of pulling the trailer from its screens after several complaints. "One lady was crying," says one of the theater's managers, Kevin Adjodha. "She was saying we shouldn't have [played the trailer]. That this was wrong ... I don't think people are ready for this."

We should remember 9/11 everyday, and hope America doens't forget the tragedy. Because if we are afraid to recognize this event and the impact on the world, then our resolve to fight these terrorists around the world will be undermined.
Currently the opposition party is attempting to accomplish that, I hope they fail miserably.
In the mean time, pray for the troops, their families and those of all faiths who are striving to promote freely elected governments around the world, we need them now more than ever.
No one ever said the war against terror would be easy, or it would be over in a few weeks.
