9/11 Musings
I've always thought that it would have been much easier in the long run if we'd just nuked the major cities of Afghanistan, and thrown Mecca in for good measure. Afghanistan because they were the country that gave refuge to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, and Mecca because the hijackers were all Muslim, and because Al Qaeda was a Muslim organization that Saudi Arabia bribed to leave it alone rather than dealing with it themselves.
A few days of falling nukes, and a warning to the Muslim world to not piss us off again. No American soldiers killed, no nation building; over and done with before 2001 ended. The bombs might or might not have gotten Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, but the warning would have been sent, and intelligence efforts would have located Bin Laden in whatever country he traveled to after Afghanistan was rendered uninhabitable, at which point he would either be turned over by the host country or the threat of nukes renewed.
Just my opinion. Yours may be different. That's fine.

There are Blogs Out There...
...that will stir your heart today with profound tributes to the events of September 11, 2001.
This isn't one of those blogs.
We have all suffered a bit in the last ten years, but it can't compare to what the people on those airplanes went through, or the people in the Twin Towers, or the people working in the Pentagon that day. Try to remember them as you go about your normal Sunday routine.
Blogging here will resume on Monday.

For You Baseball Fans...
...Tommy John has a blog now.
As a sample, here is the story of Tommy's reaction to the death of Osama bin Laden. Tommy was on the last airplane to land at LaGuardia Airport on 9/11/2001, and saw the burning World Trade Center as his flight approached for a landing.
Tommy lived here in Charlotte for 14 years, working for the class-AAA Charlotte Knights during that period.

Remember
The MSM won't show much of this footage today, they'd rather you forget what happened on this day back in 2001. They don't want you angry at the animals that did this. Luckily the MSM doesn't get to call the shots entirely anymore.
Content warning: no graphic images here, other than one of the towers falling. The audio, however, can be heartrending, as it details the last few minutes in the life of one of the victims, and his dying words.
