Anniversary

[poliphilo]

I've just looked at the date.

Oh my- 9/11!

Why wasn't I apprised of this? Why weren't the papers full of commemorative stuff?

I guess because we've moved on. We have Iraq to worry about. Katrina has changed the paradigm just as the attack on the twin towers once did.

This is a fast-moving century.

We're packing more history into the available time than we ever did before.

I don't know.That would be like the U.S. claiming that Cuba was part of their territory. We did take that Island from Spain in the war along with the Philippines you know. I know that they suffered at the hands of the Japanese but why wait 60 years to start all of this "we want an apology" crap?

I think it's beacuse the Japs have been showing faint signs of wanting to get all right-wing and nationalistic again.
