[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree completely OP. At a minimum, there should have been a moment of silence for the lives lost on that day -- the largest attack and death toll on American soil since Pearl Harbor. Our kids lives and the world they live in were indelibly shaped by 9/11 and its aftermath, from omnipresent security to America's role in the world. Yet they learn very little about it in school, and apparently don't even see it acknowledged barely 20 years later. [/quote] Honestly, I think you're exaggerating the practical impact. A lot of changes likely would have still happened for other reasons had 9/11 not happened. Security was increasing before 9/11 due to other domestic and foreign terrorist attacks. The US was already involved militarily around the world, including the middle east. Domestic surveillance was already ramping up, with most of the Patriot Act written before 9/11.[/quote]
