I was surprised and disappointed to read your recent comments opposing the immediate need for 9/11 truth.
Perhaps you've been misquoted. I certainly hope so.
Did you state that after a mere 7 years, the unsolved mass murder
of thousands of people on 9/11 is simply a thing of the "past"?
That the still reverberating significance of that horrific day has
"no practical political significance"?
Apparently, 9/11 happened so long ago that you've forgotten that it
led to some tragic, and very current, circumstances.
As a refresher, 9/11 led to:
~ the illegal invasion of Iraq, Afganistan, Iraq, ... causing the deaths
of 4,000 + U.S. and other soldiers, and the murder of over 1 million Iraqi soldiers and civilians.
~ the trampling of our Constitutional Rights...
~ the economy-destroying military spending to support these illegal wars...
~ and on and on... all of which continue to this present moment...
If investigating the cause of these present day tragedies is not the "most important" thing we can do, then pray tell Mr. Zinn, what is?
Are you really suggesting that only 2,637 days after this atrocity ripped open a gaping, still unhealed wound in the Heart of America (and much of the world), we simply slap a patch on it and move on?
If so, go meet with the thousands of 9/11 family members and tell them that, sir.
Share it with the heroic 9/11 first responders, who are, to this second, sick or dying as a result of breathing toxic dust while bravely performing their duty on that black day.
Tell it to the parents in New York City, whose children today have lung illnesses, because they were told by their government that the air was safe to breath during the days following 9/11.
Gather the thousands of Iraqi orphans together, as well as all the children of every nation, and tell them a bedtime story about how investigating the truth of 9/11, and preventing future false-flag events, future wars, have no immediate importance to them.
And please, Mr Zinn, while sharing your opinions with these people about how archaic 9/11 is, make sure you look them in the eyes.
Then notice how much 9/11 is in the "past" to them.
