the UN is nearly 70 blocks from the WTC so the amount of smoke that's visible is CRAZY

I remember seeing it on the news at my home in the uk and my heart broke that day for my American brothers and sisters

I lived in the United States between 1998 and 2003. Even though I was just 6 it feels like it happened yesterday.

at 3:02 "Now maybe we understand why the palestin-.." Why the palestinians what?

[@Crazy__Canuck]

someshitartist I bet it had to do with how the Palestinians feel about Israel attacking them or something like that.

[@Jimbozz230]

lol no. palestine is known for bombing and she's referring to the effect of the scale of terrorism in response to 9/11

The Secretary General just has forgotten to say, that there has never been "smoke without fire". Of course, such high post and time dictates the way of speech, but he could have found the courage within himself to proclaim, as his job is supposed to be done properly by seeeking the roots of such acts, even at such very tragic moment, that the way the United States behaves itself around the world is "slightly out of control and standarts", at least to say. No one is gonna target Madagascar or Mexico or etc, because they never threat, destroy or humiliate noone nearby or far oversea, they never dictate anybody the way the others should live, love or think. Of course, you may say , as history teaches us all, that this is just the inevitable state of the country as soon as it has reached the status of the world super Empire and, of course, there is some truth about it. But, as I have said, you should always try to look at the whole "Big Picture "from the all possible different points of view, if you really wanna understand and grasp the true nature about any theme, act or behavior.
