Dear victims of 9/11,
I’m sorry that the media has been replaying graphic images of your horrible deaths continually the past fortnight.
I’m sorry that your familes are surrounded by horrific reminders of what happened.
I’m sorry that, for some, it’s not enough for your families and friends to have to deal with the grief of their loss – that the media feels the need to remind them, in intricate detail, exactly how you died, via every possible outlet, worldwide.
I’m sorry that your unnecessary deaths have been glorified to an extent where people who had absolutely no link whatsoever with you feel the need to dig up the past declaring ‘never forget’.
One day, they might actually let you rest in peace.
Yours,
An unrelated onlooker.
