Bangkoktraveler Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Barack Obama and John McCain will come together at Ground Zero for Thursday's seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks "to honor the memory of each and every American who died, and to grieve with the families and friends who lost loved ones.â? The notion to commemorate in unity came about during a conversation Wednesday when Obama had called McCain to congratulate him on the Republican nomination. Obama pitched the idea and McCain immediately accepted the invitation. This will be the two candidates first joint appearance coming out of the conventions. Later that night, the two will participate in a forum on public service at Columbia University. The campaigns had already pledged to suspend their television advertising on Thursday.

USVirgin Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 LOL...I didn't even notice that! I guess I haven't even noticed that Thais in my country refer to 9/11 as, simply, 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidel Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Iraqis, Afghans and Pakistanis will be marking this anniversary as they have done on each of the previous anniversaries: By getting shot, kidnapped, tortured and blown to pieces by US troops still bent on revenge and still carrying out their civilizing mission, as willed by God (the Christian one, not Allah). The Saudis on the other hand will be celebrating as they do every day, by feasting on fatted calves, driving around in customized sports cars and chopping peoples' heads off, business as usual.

USVirgin Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Be careful. There's another thread about being 'outed'. We don't want to see you as a victim, just because of your birth date. Some countries view 9/11 as a reason to attack, indiscriminately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
