I think you said it perfectly, pablo. It was the shock of the US - seemingly invincible to even a small scale attack before - being attacked in such a big way that affected the lives of thousands of people. The day needs to be remembered when it needs to. I'm still against how easily such a tragedy can be exploited in the media (when I saw a shot of the twin towers in the abc version of Life on Mars used for nothing more than exploiting a shock emotional reaction, I was ready to yell, "Oh, for FUCK'S SAKE!" at my computer screen), and I do think that it shouldn't be something dwelled on all the time, in fact I think that just might be a dangerous thing to do, but it certainly shouldn't - and will never be - forgotten. Honestly though, as a Brit I can't even begin to imagine what so many Americans must feel about the day. I mean I know we had those 7/7 bombings a few years ago, but you really can't even begin to compare the two. So even I remember the day and respect those who were deeply affected by such an event. For one day, anyway.
