you cant really compare pearl harbor rememberance to this since this is still a fresh memory to most people - i dont feel like digging but i am sure there were events like this for pearl harbor for 5-10 years after the actual event.
also pearl harbor was 50 years ago - mayb in 50 years this day will just be another day also.
pearl harbor may have been 50 years ago but it still is the primary reason the US got drawn into a war that killed millions of american citizens ....
we havent even reached 100k americans dead yet on this ... the percentage of population directly affected by pearl harbor vs 9.11 is so vast its not even funny
im not saying we should forget but we dont need to all stop what we are doing and mourn it every year. i dont need to wake up and have news channels and websites flooded with 9.11 stories ... leave the mourning and constant remembrance to those who were actually affected.
90% of americans wouldnt even think twice about what day it is if we werent barraged my media about it
i'm all for never forgetting, we never should forget the past ... but that doesnt mean i need to have to constantly hear about it ... especially after 7 years ... what more can you say?
