Here's my Sept. 11, 2001 anthem:
USA Flag --
USA Flag/3,00 dead/USA Flag/It's in my head
USA Flag/Is Raining down/USA Flag/Still around
It's a tribute to the 3,000 people killed on that fateful day, with a focus on the Stars & Stripes as a symbol of the time. I came up with the chorus first, and then wrote a few verses about it. Just a few weeks after it happened, Jennifer traveled to China where she saw a trinket of the World Trade Center with flames coming out - some kind of combination souvenir and cigarette lighter decorated with Osama Bin Laden. I hope they didn't sell. Can you believe that? What a horrible thing.
Misguided U.S. policies aside, the resources used to commit the crime of Sept. 11 came indirectly from our purchase of foreign oil, if you just follow the money. A big chunk of our money at the pump goes to Saudi Arabia, which then doles out money to militant charities to help keep appease dissidents within their own borders. Those wealthy dissidents pay for terror attacks against us. It's all about a power grab too -- political power grows from the barrel of a gun, and anyone trying to get more power inevitably explores a military or terrorist option. Nearly all of the Sept. 11 hijackers and Osama Bin Laden all came from Saudi Arabia. Argh!
