We Swore That We Would Never Forget

September 11, 2025, this day dawned clear, clear, and bright. There was not a single cloud in the sky. It was a nearly perfect late summer day with just a hint of fall. It looked like a perfect day just to be alive.

September 11, 2001, that day dawned clear, clear, and bright. There was not a single cloud in the sky. It was a nearly perfect late summer day with just a hint of fall. It looked like a perfect day just to be alive. But, in one split second, the perfect day became a hell on Earth. It was perhaps the most horrific day in the history of the United Staes.

At 8:46 AM American Airlines Flight 11, supposedly bound from Boston to California, crashed into the North Tower of New York City’s World Trade Center. The fiery crash forever changed this country. The American homeland had not been attacked in 187 years. The inconceivable had happened. The protection that we thought two oceans provided, suddenly disappeared and America faced the reality that we could be attacked.

Our national innocence died that day.

We swore that we’d never forget.

For a very short time after the attack on September 11, we were unified as a nation. President Bush committed our nation to destroying the Islamic terror network that had conceived and conducted the attack. Our national resolve for righteous vengeance seemed nearly as strong are national horror was in the days following the attack. But, before the task was done, partisan politics reared its ugly head and our united thirst for vengeance gave way to “politics as usual;” our righteous Crusade whimpered and withered away to nothing. Within months, the horrific moment that we swore we would never forget was forgotten.

For nearly a quarter of a century, Americans have discussed and debated the causes of that dreadful attack. Possible causes and motives range from the somewhat plausible to the viciously anti-American. Over the intervening years, it has become almost heretical to state the obvious reason and cause for the attack of September 11, that being that Moslems are completely incompatible with modern, civilized societies.

I said it and I stand by it. In this case Occam’s Razor holds true.

You can rationalize and wander off into incomprehensible “nuances” of thought. You can blame American “imperialism,” or the now in vogue. “Colonizers,” but unless you understand, and accept, the simple fact that Islam breeds and fosters violence and hatred, you will never get it.

The world does exist, nor function by the “Ivy Tower,” “new age,” politically correct globalist guides and rules. Geo-political events, and therefore, history is driven by the aggressive use of force. Tyrants, bullies, and dictators drive events, and they prey upon the weak. Whether on the grade school playground, in third world shithole countries, or in the international arena, the strong prey upon the weak. There are not enough nuances in any deep, intellectual discourse to sway the tyrants, bullies, and dictators of the world. The only thing that tyrants, bullies, and dictators respect is strength.

And therein lies the cause of the 9-11 attack – ever since 1979, the government of the United States refused to confront Iran and the Islamist movement. They saw us as weak, and they attacked us.

It is just that simple.

We swore that we would never forget. But it is apparent that we have forgotten. Our nation has been overrun by as many as twenty million illegal aliens whose identities and motives are unknown. Our big cities have become crime infested hell holes. For twelve of the last 16 years, our federal government has not been serving the people. For those years, the elected, appointed, and hired bureaucrats have been only serving themselves. Our nation has looked weak upon the world stage – the last president unconditionally surrendered a defeated nation and billions of dollars’ worth of perfectly functioning military equipment to radical Moslem terrorists. After the Biden farce of a government our nation looks weak and vulnerable.

We swore that we would never forget.

We have forgotten. Shame on us.
