9/11 anniversary: Attacks made US stronger, Obama says

The United States is stronger 10 years on from the 9/11 attacks and al-Qaeda is "on the path to defeat", President Barack Obama has said.

"As a resilient nation, we will carry on," he told Americans on the eve of the anniversary of the attacks.

Sure wish the economy was as strong as it appeared to be ten years ago.

All I've seen is a stripping of rights and the general publics concern with those in uniform.

Congress has raped us and allowed the economy to go in the trash bin.
HomeLand Security is nothing more then the SS reinvented.
And the BS has just continued to grow with no real fixes in sight for the common person.

I'm a little suprised at what you've posted there Steve because whilst readily admitting not to knowing much of your home front (countrywise) situation and having a plausable knowledge of how your economic situation is deteriorating (like so many other western countries, the UK included)....I honestly thought the 9/11 outrage had galvanised your country in terms of security and protection of the homeland

I'm most likely wrong but that was the impression I was under.

Is it just me, or is the media "wallowing" in 9/11 sorrow? Every news channel , education channel, has run non-stop 9/11 shows. How much of this stuff can you actually watch?

Yes, definitely! As one australian comedian brilliantly stated in twitter:

There's a line between acknowledging / honouring the past, & fetishising the morbid. Reckon news media will stay the right side today?

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

I appreciate what my country has done to try and better protect itself. I appreciate my countrys soldiers who have sacrificed so much in the past for my country. It is not a perfect system...none ever is but I would not want to live in any other place on earth.

God Bless Amercia Love it or Leave it...

Well, as the comedian I quoted said: "There's a line between acknowledging / honouring the past, & fetishising the morbid. Reckon news media will stay the right side today?"

Currently it's just 'fetishing the morbid'.

I could say a thing or two about USA's 'self-protecting' methods but I won't as this is not the right thread for it.
