Sad but fact is this is a completely different country today.
That day brought out American pride like not seen in generations.
Since then our elected leaders & media have divided this country like never before seen in my lifetime.
Now a good portion of politicians and their supporters want those type that brought down those towers living amongst us.

Ya ok.
Maybe you should open you home to a few dozen "Dreamers"
The only thing these people are dreaming about is our welfare system and burning American flags.

I was just pointing out how divided this county became racially after 9-11. I'd imagine that day ruined the joy of being an American for a lot of peaceful muslims in this country.

A lot of Americans were ruined that day. Good people, Muslim and not, went to defend and support this country. On the whole getting everyone together was good. But take one thing and go pi$$ it all away. Divide and Conquer

The uber rich love the divide and conquer technique. Pit everyone against each other. Tell the poor that the immigrants are the problem. Tell the middle class that the poor are the problem. Yet no one is really talking about the tax doging rich, the huge corporations that pay no taxes and the mega churches that are tax exempt. We... the average joe gets stuck holding the bag.

We, the average Joe, elected these fools into position of authority where they have spent OUR financial freedoms, and downstream from that our Freedoms, on Bread and Circus and now are spending my kid and your kid's generation.

So instead you have people screaming fascists and *phobes and people developing new genderfluiditypronouns marching ins Antisachiste Aktion, to take from "The Man" on one side and taxes and Mega Churches (remember it is OK if it is the other's ox getting gored) and Birth Certificates on the other. SPLIT the population against itself.

We are supposed to do better together and UNDER the law, as citizens, and we do when both sides work together. But that does not scratch the political and special interest itch, does it.

So in a rare time I will agree with Ronnie, the country was more together, just after 9/11, then any time I recall. Clearly that was not good some people, and their special need to gouge the public.

In the aftermath of 9/11, the country was united like never before.

It was years later, when the Iraq war became unpopular, that the country became divided. The media and the democrats were so heavily invested in the notion that Iraq was lost, they all blew a collective gasket when the Surge worked. They all came down with Bush Derangement Syndrome, and concluded that if they couldn't win the battle of ideas, they could win the battle of identity politics and victimhood.
