Arizona 9/11 memorial designers

Wanted to commemorate hijackers

Why wouldn’t they? There are no enemies in their cosmology (except Bush). Violence itself is the enemy.

Which means the hijackers are victims too.

Oh, and we also sort of deserved it because of our “total support of Israel.” And the Afghan civilians who were accidentally killed in a bombing run ten months later belong on the memorial because they’re all “part of the tragedy of war, terrorism, hatred, [and] mistrust of everyone else.”

We’re going to lose. You know that, right?

Unfreak'inbelievable....

Some of the commissioners actually wanted to add 19 more characters to represent the deaths of the 19 terrorist murderers who killed the victims.

Where in the hell did these people come from anyway? I'm actually starting to believe that there had to have been alien spaceships that planted "Pod People".....

So we should build memories to whoever tries to kill us??? When are the Stalin and Hiltler memorials being built then?

Right after the Timothy McVeigh, and Charles Manson's memorials..

AZ Memorial Designers Inspired by Chomsky

Noam Chomsky. Yep, the way-left loon's slim volume 9/11 was one of six books listed in the bibliography of research notes from which the memorial's designers cribbed statements to etch into the Funyun.

Update...

Ariz. House votes to alter 9/11 memorial

An additional dozen inscriptions would be removed from the state's embattled 9/11 memorial under a plan narrowly approved by House lawmakers Wednesday.

Those phrases - including "Must bomb back," "Foreign-born Americans afraid" and "You don't win battles of terrorism with more battles" - are etched into the memorial's steel, disc-like face. Memorial designers intended them to reflect the nation's conflicted psyche in the days following the terrorist strikes of Sept. 11, 2001. Instead, they've helped keep the memorial roiled in controversy in the 18 months since its '06 dedication.

I swear if they didn't remove that crap I would have gone down there and burned it down.

This is like honoring the Japs that got shot down over Pearl Harbor.

Unbelievable.

[Redsonja84]

Or better yet, the Japs making a memorial about the us planes that dropped the atomic bombs... Instead of the people who died that day.

(Im not saying we were wrong 100%, but it's still sad thats what it took And yes it was an act of war)

Get my point??

[buttthrax]

Yes but we won the damn war. WE WON. WE decide what is history and what is not.

We are the UNITED STATES, dammit. God, I'm so sick of everyone else.
