Would it be morbid if I said: happy anniversary?

If you're American, it's better if you don't read this. I don't need rants for exercising my right of free speech.

Actually, I remember 9/11. I also remember the day after, when my school was asked, as actually everybody in the country to stand for a silent minute to mourn those poor widdle Americans.

I remember vividly that some picked their nose, a friend of mine yawned and another ate an apple, chewing thoughtfully. I snickered and looked out onto the street through the window my seat was next to and stared at the lucky buggers out on the street who didn't have to give a shit.

Then our teacher asked us, who didn't stand there with a mourning face: why? We told her. America never gave a shit about any other country. (The Americans elected a monkey as president. Seriously, what more is there to say?) Did they stand up in silence to mourn the people of Nagasaki? Nope. Did they ever say sorry that they sold our country to Russia? Hell no. Then why should we pay them any respect and mourn people we never even knew? Why do we have to mourn a country that brought this retaliation upon itself? I'm sorry to say, but I do believe they had something coming. I'm not saying it's exactly what they deserved, no. But they did deserve to get punched in the face.

However, I do feel sorry for the people who got killed. I feel sorry, because they had to live in such a country, because that was the only reason they got killed in those two towers. Had they lived elsewhere, in a country with a conscience... well, who knows.

There's only one reason to mourn the americans even though they didn't mourn others: because otherwise we're exactly just like them.
