It is no longer too soon

It is, in fact, too late

Being fair outside of usa and western Europe, does anyone else even remember 9/11? As changing to global politics as it initially was, why would the rest of the world care now more than a decade after? Unless it's one of the countries invaded by USA after.

yeah, flying in planes changed for no one outside of europe and the USA.

you fucking idiot

Everyone accepted pointless shit to do at the airport and moved on with their life. You get on with bullshit rules and don't question them. People still travel on planes, so not like anyone really protested and stopped air travel.

I remember it every time I had to pour the water out of my water bottle and fill it again after I passed the security in the airport. Such a waste of time and effort.

Also I remember when I was a kid, the pilots allowed me into the cockpit during the flight and I was fascinated. After 9/11 it's no longer possible.

It does still weigh on minds, I think, when justifying government overreach. But that would be like thinking about the Iran hostage crisis in 2001 for policy decisions.

Considering he is American, it is probably most relevant whether Americans remember it still. They keep saying "never forget" about it, so I assume they still remember.

Hell, I even still remember the Alamo and Wounded Knee.

Terribly sorry to do this but, you got me thinking about stuff I'd forgotten and... >!^(I lost the game)!<

Does anyone care about NATO anymore? Why bother learning from history.
