Ground zero 9/11/2008 Still a hole in the ground.

Seven years ago today an incredible event happened that it seems most people have forgotten. Some people want to completely forget and never want to see anything about the attacks again like Olbermann at the RNC. We need to remember. 9/11 is the reason troops are in Afganistan and Iraq (okay, mostly Afganistan, but there couldn’t be one without the other).

For those that want to remember there are some great pictures over at Peter Nickel and the Video from the RNC that doesn’t say anything political until Olbermann opens his trap. If the Democrats had shown the exact same video I wonder what his reaction would have been.

The outrage should be directed as to why after seven years, there is still a hole in the ground. The bickering about every tiny little thing. The memorial should be done right and everyone’s concerns should be taken into consideration, but not so much as to halt construction of anything. Would you believe someone wanted the names of the hijackers listed as well? Thankfully, that one didn’t make the final cut. But make a decision an get it built. The only thing this hole in the ground honors is the terrorists that did this. The longer this is a hole in the ground the longer it highlights our own inability to do anything. The picture is from today from Earth Cam.
