We remember the ruthlessness of those who murdered the innocent and took joy in their suffering. We remember the courage of the police and firefighters and rescue personnel who rushed into burning buildings to save lives, knowing they might never emerge. And we remember the victims -- moms and dads, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives -- and the loved ones they left behind.

As night fell on America on September the 11th, 2001, we felt grief and great sorrow. Yet we also saw that, while the terrorists could kill the innocent, they could not defeat the spirit of our nation. The despair and tragedy of that day were overcome by displays of selflessness, courage and compassion.

And in the days and weeks that followed, America answered history's call to bring justice to our enemies and to ensure the survival and success of liberty. And that mission continues today.

Four years later, Americans remember the fears and uncertainty and confusion of that terrible morning. But above all, we remember the resolve of our nation to defend our freedom, rebuild a wounded city, and care for our neighbors in need.

1. That was hard to stomach on this beautiful morning....

I wonder when bush will declare war on the 'fury of wind and water' to defend our freedom. When will Americans stop listening to this totally inept phony take back their country.

2. Go figure, he worked Iraq into that radio address

with out actually mentioning Iraq. Karl "Goebbels" Rove deserves the Iron Cross for that little bit of propaganda.

3. And how did YOU react to Katrina you murdering sociopath...?

You did almost everything you could to evict or kill the population living on the properties you wanted in New Orleans so your friends can build their high bucks casinos and hotels.

4. Here ya go Mo...a bit of literary license...

We remember the ruthlessness of those who murdered the innocent and took joy in their suffering (No, not in New Orleans, in New York. Sorry for the confusion, y’all). We remember the courage of the police and firefighters and rescue personnel who rushed into burning buildings to save lives, knowing they might never emerge. And we remember the victims -- moms and dads, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives -- and the loved ones they left behind, who, incidentally, keep asking for another commission to be seated to investigate the intelligence failures prior to the attacks. (Jeez, aren’t you people ever satisfied? You have no idea how hard it was to convince Uncle Dick to come with me to the commission hearings, it wasn’t cheap!.)

As night fell on America on September the 11th, 2001, we felt grief and great sorrow. Yet we also saw that, while the terrorists could kill the innocent, they could not defeat the spirit of our nation (Hee, hee, naw, it took ME to do that!) . The despair and tragedy of that day were overcome by displays of selflessness, courage and compassion (‘Course, I only heard about it while I was running around the country trying to find a place to hide).

And in the days and weeks that followed, America answered history's call to bring justice to our enemies and to ensure the survival and success of liberty (That’s why we were able to catch bin Laden so quickly, we just had to smoke him out of his hole and git him running. After that it was easy!). And that mission continues today (Never mind that the mission has nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, but you people are so stupid, you’ll buy anything I say).

Four years later, Americans remember the fears and uncertainty and confusion of that terrible morning (Yee haaaaw, yep, we have managed to keep people scared of their own shadows, their neighbors, and all people whose skin color happens to be a shade darker than lily white. Thank you Fox News!). But above all, we remember the resolve of our nation to defend our freedom, rebuild a wounded city (Again, New York, not Orleans), and care for our white, Republican neighbors in need.

5. I should have known

better - but I read the damn speech anyway. That man does not even have once ounce of sincerity in his heart. Our hearts are breaking, are heavy with sorrow remembering all the lost souls, all the broken lives, while our illustrious leader just forges one with his plans of monetary gluttony. My heart is truly breaking.

Mikimouse, clever piece, albeit bittersweet, ah but oh so true.
