Re: 9/11 let us remember.

I remember setting the video to record "Star Trek-Deep Space Nine" on TV which was on about 11:30pm (bloody channel 9!), and when I got up at around 6am the next day to go to work, I rewound the VHS (remember them...?) to check it recorded, and saw the planes hitting the buildings. I was puzzled...was this some movie? That'd be right...take off my favorite (at the time) TV show and replace it with some film and not put it in the TV guide...typical channel 9.
Then I turned off the video and went to normal TV and saw it all unfolding. I remember waking the missus and saying "Turn on the TV when you get up, I think there's going to be a war", and went to work where, of course, it was the topic of conversation all day.
Not. One. Damn. Word. about "oh, we deserved it, we shouldn't retaliate" of crap like that which the softies came out with long after the fact. People from all countries died in that attack...Australians included...and our PM at the time was in the USA and we were just about the first country to stick up our hand and say "Hurt one of us, you hurt all of us...bring it on sand people".
As for what happened after-woods, funnily enough people die in wars...odd that, and something we've all forgotten in this era of smart weaponry and unmanned drones. That's life. Keep the postings to memories of that day please.
