Grieving, September 11, 2021
What grieves me most this day, twenty years after terrorists attacked our nation, is not the fact that it took so long to find and kill Osama bin Laden or the fact that the 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, is still in Guantanamo navigating his prosecution, or the fact that American oil interests drove Middle East foreign policy resulting in thousands of soldiers' deaths without a desirable outcome.
What grieves me most is that domestic terrorists attacked our nation's capital on January 6, 2021, under the leadership of an insurrectionist President Trump and the seditionist Republican Party that continues to hold representation for an uneducated and deplorable population of Americans who risk everyone's freedom and national security for their convoluted notion of individualism.
America is hanging by a thread, where seventy-five percent of the population is held hostage by a twenty-five percent minority of extremists. The labels other than domestic terrorists and traitors are too complicated.
