Remembering 9/11/2001

Those of us that were alive on September 11, 2001 remember it as a day that changed all of our lives forever. I watched the events as they unfolded that morning on TV but to this day can't explain why that tragedy happened. How it's possible to talk another man or woman into taking their own life is still beyond my ability to understand. The fact is, they did talk someone into it and have done so time and time again since then. I'd like to place blame, but even now I still don't know where the root cause should be placed. It's called patriotic to place the blame on Islamic fundamentalists, but is it really that simple?

The people who do these horrible deeds are usually poor and many could even be uneducated, but their leaders are among the best educated men in the world. Why would an educated man do such horrible things. The usual answer is money, power, or both. Is it that easy to explain?? Maybe it is. Those who have money and power control those who do not. If you don't believe me, try to start or stop anything without both. It won't happen.
