It's suspicious how the dignity of Western Culture declined rapidly in the aftermath of 9/11...
Unethical business practises, decline in intelligence, trashy celebrity culture, sexualisation of children, saturation of marketing, superficial beauty, global recession, city riots, social unrest, permissive attitudes, relationship breakdowns, mediocre television, banal music, progressive cynicism, political apathy, corrupt authority figures etcetera...
Although these issues have always existed in society, after 9/11 they not only became recognised, but also widely accepted :/

The date of the first major terrorist attack on American soil. Also the first day three steel skyscrapers have collapsed vertically in free-fall into their footprints from fires alone. Also the first day a Vice President has ordered airborne interceptors to STAND DOWN and allow an airplane to purportedly crash into the pentagon (although no video has yet been released of an airplane hitting the building since the FBI seized the dozens of videotapes). Also... well I could go on all day.
Wow, WTC 7 fell down like it was demolished on 9/11 from some small fires, even though buildings hit directly with huge bombs dont fall down like that... that's weird.

Attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the White House, orchestrated and executed by the United States Government. This allowed the Government to:
- Pass the Patriot Act
- Invade Iraq
- Destroy World Trade Center 7
- Place a false fear in America
- Pass the Patriot Act
- Invade Iraq
- Destroy World Trade Center 7
- Place a false fear in America
9/11: "...and so he led the country to fascism... using military power, with a strong sense of nationalism... much like a dictatorship. He used propaganda to discriminate against a certain scapegoat."

The date when the USA assisted a military coup in overthrowing the democratically elected government of Chile, which was led by socialist Salvador Allende. He was replaced with General Pinochet, who established a dictatorship.

A terrible day where 3000 people lost their lives and over 300 million lost their freedom. A day where the largest democracy in the world became a police state. A day when small minded but powerful men were able to persuade millions all over the world to give in to fear. This was the day that 3 skyscrapers succumbed to fire and collapsed, which is the first time ANY skyscraper has ever done this. This was the day when the physical laws of the universe were suspended and steel which normally melts at over 3000F, melted at 2000F. This is also the day when a 100 ton aircraft flown by an incompetent pilot executed near acrobatic maneuvers, ripped through 5 large light standards, crashed into the pentagon and virtually disintegrated on impact, leaving almost no wreckage. This was the second time that a aircraft of this size has disintegrated in this manner, the first occured the same day in Pennsylvania. This was the day that journalistic integraty finally died after years of withering and rot. This was the day when a failing administration became popular again. This was the day when a war agenda was made possible. This was the day I realized that I would see the collapse of freedom in my lifetime and that it wouldn't be ripped away from us, but given up willingly. This was one of the saddest days in the history of man, but not in the way the media and the governments of the world would have you think.
Osama: OK...so we all have this straight, we emerge from our caves, and attack the people who have trained and funded us on 9/11.
