th anniversary of 9/11 passes in the Backroom with nary a mention

[Martok]

I remembered, I just thought it pretty much went without having to say anything. Everyone knows that it sucked when that happened, and we do see the sacrifices that were made.

That pretty much sums it up for me as well. With all the shows, articles, and other tributes the media has come out with in the last few days, it hardly seemed necessary to mention it yet again. Besides, I don't want to get involved in a discussion that I fear would turn into the "America--poor us" thread. A terrible and evil act was committed that day, but I don't think we should keep rehashing it over and over.

While I believe we should always remember what happened, I don't think we should be dwelling on it either. Every nation has suffered horrible tragedies like this one, and I see no reason why 9/11 should be treated any differently from other terrible events.
