        To never forget is a farce. It is all a lie to say that we should remember one event and ingrain it into the American mind for all eternity, and let it stick out as the sore thumb in the books of tragic history of the United States. What ludicrous thinking is it to say that this one event is so important? I admit the even was very tragic, it was certainly something that one should be aware of, but should we ingrain it into the entire history so readily? My point is this that there are people that die every month every day, and will continue to die. One commonly citied incident was the mass genocide of at least a million people in Rwanda, or perhaps the deaths of persons that were killed innocently due to American Invasion, even more so the deaths of the innocent in Iraq, or the the funded occupation of Syria and Lebanon supporting Israel so both sides can massacre each other. What about the 40,000+ people that die every month in international wars. Why must we continually re-has the tragic deaths of these people? I understand it was a terrible act of extreme violence, but we must also remember that we cannot do so much by simply remembering.         I think that the really solution the real problem is that we forget the rest of the world, we let the rest of the world suffer and we compartmentalize ourselves into a selfish way of thinking. It is only by precedence of American Foreign policy to fund terror, to bomb nations, and to cause conflict because we act like the powerful bully of the entire world. It just doesn't make any sense to me why we memorialize ONE act of terror, yet we soon forget the atrocities we commit toward other people, and then we continually act as the victims of some extremist religion. It's all ridiculous.
