Today is the 22nd anniversary of 9/11. I have not forgotten. I will try to remain short, as I often blogged about it and I don't know if I can add all that much to what I have already said in the past. For my observations about this fateful day, please read this post from 2008 and this one from 2009. They are still the posts I am most proud of in all my years of blogging. Otherwise, there might be one thing that is worth adding: I find it tragic and often infuriating that nowadays, the United States is struggling with another sort of religious fundamentalism, not islamist this time, bu Christian, and that it brought its own homegrown domestic terrorism. Because I challenge anyone to tell me what is the intrinsic difference between a a MAGA supporter and/or a Christian fundie and an Islamist. No, cosmetic differences don't count.

I'm a bit ashamed to say I totally forgot about this date. It should never be forgotten as it was one of catalysts for the global mess we are in now, in my humble opinion. I have American friends and they are as confused about what's happening in their country as much as the rest of us.
I think it's the 22nd anniversary today, isn't it?
it is the 22 anniversary.
