I'm not sure that people necessarily want to "forget" 9/11 happened. Speaking only for myself, I just don't want to relive it every year. I've seen so many replays of the towers being hit, it's a given that i'll never forget it. I chose to celebrate LIFE that day, not dwell on the death. I think that's the best way to honor the people who died. If I had died in that tragedy, I wouldn't want people to relive it every year. I would have the mentality "don't dwell on the tragedy, show those bastards (Alkeida) that they can't keep you down!!!"
I would rather see news broadcasts that day showing patriotic Americans doing patriotic things. Or talking about the memorial, or talking about the good things that we're doing in Iraq and the changes that we're making there. They DO show that stuff, but it's over shadowed by the tapes of the crashes.
I think the news shows the tragic and dramatic news clips from 9/11 every year because, like a car crash, people are drawn to it. I DO think that the people who died should be remembered, just not the way the news media does it currently. Just my humble opinion.
