9/11 - 10 years on

Yesterday, commemorations were held in New York, Washington, Pennsylvania and other parts of the world for the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Flight 93, whose brave passengers sacrificed their lives by overpowering the terrorists in the cockpit and crashing the aeroplane into the ground in Shanksville. Since the event, the death toll then, and the subsequent deaths that have followed since the attacks has risen to well over 3,000 people - the worst terrorist atrocity the world has ever known.

the 11 September 2001 will always be remembered as a day that the whole World changed forever, in its idealism, radicalism, faith and belief in humanity, and we have been fighting a war against it ever since - will we succeed? I doubt I will be here to see it, but hopefully, one day, the whole of human-kind will unite and realise we all occupy Earth for a reason - and it certainly isn't nothing to do with God, Allah or any religion - it is all part of the existence of the Universe and how it works.
