For the average American, Starbucks was still on the corner September 12th, 2001.
When suicide bombers start gracing the covers of our national magazines and terrorist fashionistas wearing burkas are kicking off high-end fashion campaigns just for their “cool factor,” I guess I should not be surprised that September 11th is starting to become just another day in history for the American people.
The coverage of the Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks is starting to lose steam in the eyes of the public.

It certainly ended with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s “does it really matter?” attitude about last year’s 9/11 attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.

It seems the White House believes that the death of Osama bin Laden will cover revenge and justice for all the victims killed on 9/11; past, present and future. Jihad against America and the western world stopped existing under President Obama, don’tcha know.

Literally. The slogan: “Take a day to remember the day that changed us forever.” The most horrifying attack in history on American soil and we should just sit back and take a day. All while the heart of ground zero has been reduced to a must-see destination for tourists, day after day milling around like worker bees trying to capture one iota of what a New York City resident felt that day.
