TWOL faces something of a dilemma today.
The date is Sunday, September the 11th, 2011. Because of events in New York, Washington and Shanksville, PN, ten years to the day, there is only one topic to be discussed in today's entry. However, there has been masses of prose, across the internet and printed media, written about these events, and today's anniversary, so TWOL must write something unique.
Although TWOL was just six year's old at the time, TWOL still holds vague memories of the day. Genuine breaking news programmes, reserved for such events as the 9/11 bombing attempts, are extremely rare and TWOL was most disappointed, that day, that CBBC had been cancelled for the afternoon.
Of course, TWOL must extend its sympathies to those whom have lost a loved one or were killed. Fortunately, the only effect 9/11 has had on TWOL are the increasingly strenuous and lengthy airport security checks of the 21st century.
Finally, TWOL would like to put an immediate halt to insinuations that America somehow 'deserved' to be attacked as a result of their foreign policy. This horrific event has been the subject of much paranoia and speculation but this is ignorant, insulting and, in most cases, xenophobic.
