Before publishing the article written by the legendary Delphi,
I would write a personal comment on
'argument. As can be seen from the title is
of what happened in New York on 11 September 2001 at
Twin Towers.
premise that what happened was a
violence and an unprecedented media coverage, I can not disassociate myself completely from
those who made, makes and will make a
half to fill the pages of newspapers and television talk shows.
bad I find the idea by some Italian public institutions,
as some common (see Loano (SV)) to hoist the American flag.
Some will say that is a sign of respect towards the victims of that day ..
then I tell you the same way
would hoist the flag of each nation that has experienced a tragedy with
deaths and injuries, our primarily Italy.
Pongo for example the bombing of the Bologna train station August 2, 1980,
a major terrorist acts that occurred in Italy after World War II, August 2
I did not see special articles on the subject and not I have not seen the Italian flag in
mezzasta (Loano for a level playing field should have done so). Other victims should be remembered that
:
-7 July 2005 in London (British flag)
-11 March 2004 in Madrid (English flag)
-The massacre of children in Beslan (Russian flag)
And to these we can add more.
Happy reading!
For people like me had the good fortune to see New York and especially to see the Twin Towers in New York knows that the Twin Towers are to Americans far more than the Colosseum for the Romans, the Tower of Pisa to Pisa, the Eiffel Tower for Paris, Big Ben for London, etc.
Getting them pulled down the American people is to have struck the deepest level, they have destroyed a symbol, have undermined their certainties, their safety! This is the point, on September 11th was not only upset the safety of Americans but the safety of all persons in the world! No one can be safer, around every corner, at a station in a meter, at a concert, a game that can be hidden a bomb, a suicide bomber, who knows what a monster!
Here is how we live, we forget for a long time, but the events in Madrid, Bali, London suddenly bring us back anguish for a few days at the station we look around, look carefully at the mall all the people. ... then we go and forget for a while 'we live in peace.
Then on 11 September each year to reflect back, the press (and ultimately Fidel Castro) returns to give us new versions of the facts, new hypotheses, we question, we confront, we care .... Then we go and forget for a while 'we live in peace.
The Twin Towers were knocked down ... but ... then a plane to another plane, all in disbelief in front of the TV ... I was at work, I stopped, I spent all afternoon in front of the screen, I could not believe it and wondered and I still wonder: but what can we believe? We are in a world where the alleged good selling weapons to bad, so bad they become good and the bad even bad but perhaps not bad for the alleged good become evil, but then who are the good guys and who the bad guys? But there are good? I do not know, sometimes I think that the reality described in "Planet of the Apes" is not so far away, after all, for those who well remember, in the final image you see the Statue of Liberty, but still no trace of the twin towers ....
