hopefully we all took part today, however when we have 1 for say a celeb or football player we may remember there role in society how they entertained us etc. but todays rememberance got me thinking 2 ways, sorrow for the familys and the lost ones but also anger at the perpotrators. is that normal?

2 minutes silence
Sex God
A bloke at work complained 2 minutes was too long. I was so furious at such a mean and selfish thought I couldn't speak to him for the rest of the day. Ok, it's longer than 1 minute so what! He begrudged a whole minute out of his life. Wow. Such a sarcifice. 
Sorry about the rant - but it really got to me.

Perfectly normal,
The bombers chose to hit partically soft targets, a choice they did not give their victims , not as combatants in a war started by politicians or others, but as so called martyrs against innocent non combantants
I accept that they and others may not see themselves as I have described. That however is how I view any terrorist who deliberately chooses to attack those who have no means of fighting back. I'm sure the perpetrators would say they choose targets with the most chance of success to justify their targets. But to me, if you're 'at war' you fight the forces of the 'enemy' not innocent and generally unarmed civillians. Sorry for the rant but I too get angry when thinking of such events anywhere in the world.

I am as saddened by the events of a year ago as everyone else. Two minutes silence would seem the least we could do to remember the suffering of the dead and injured.
The British Medical Journal “The Lancet†has estimated that 100,000 civilians have lost their lives in Iraq since the start of the war; however I doubt that anyone will give them a second thought today.

i promised myself that i'd stay away from this thread but i seem to keep being drawn to it.......
whilst not drawing away from those who lost their lives a year ago and the effect it had on many others......i believe that whenever u stop for silence to remember people its not just for the event of that day but to remember everyone who has lost their lives due to either war or terrorism......to me, the silence today was not just for those that lost their lives a year ago but for everyone the world over who has been killed and for the familys of the desceased as well.......whilst it may be contreversial i think also that thoughts should go out to the families of the perpetrators as they try to come to terms with what their own relative has done at the same time as dealing with their loss........
