You could forget, the true problem is you never forgive. That is exactly what is leading their nation to a downfall while other nations unite, develop and progress. But don't believe me, keep separated into two political parties, against black/brown/yellow people and see how well it goes.
Maybe we should forget, we just wasted 20 years trying to eradicate those sand-sucking terrorists and we ain't got jack shit to show for it.
no we shouldn't forget. not the lives lost on that day, nor the lives and progress lost after twenty years. And ultimately, we shouldn't forget the bullshit policies, laws, reasons for war they used so it won't happen again.

You sound so much like today's Russia and past China. Beware.
This sounds wrong but I think we should’ve rebuilt them. Trump had the right idea. So sad the youth won’t ever get to see those beautiful cement bricks.

From a foreigner perspective, that one kinda makes sense. If something you love is destroyed, rebuild it, but stronger.

It wasn't something loved, it was just a pair of towers. What made it so important was the devastation and casualties. Rebuilding the towers would have meant building on top of thousands of graves, would have meant building over all the memorials erected for lost loved ones. People involved in the incident that survived are still feeling the effects today. Too many people would feel an attempt to rebuild the towers to be disrespectful both to those that died and to those that survived.
I know no one outside the US cares about that event, but I would hope at least that much to be understandable.

It wasn’t loved until it was destroyed. Personally I think those cement blocks were the beauty of lower manhattan

Of course people would complain, they always do. But the message I get from the outside is that you CAN hit the US, and it DOES hurt them. Also you should know better than to presume knowing how others "outside the US" feel, because when that happened, we were all shocked. Class that day was cancelled and we just talked about the attack for the rest of the day. You don't need to be American to be horrified by such an event. I hope the concept of empathy is understandable.

To be honest, it depends on where are you from. In ex-USSR countries (at least Ukraine and Russia, from personal experience) quite a few people were actually not sad at all. Mostly older folks who grew up during the Cold War. I was a freshman at university at the time and no classes were canceled, our professor just told us what happened and proceeded to lecture.

As much as we like to joke about it, I imagine most people outside of the US can still appreciate the importance of 911, and that is was an attack not only against the US, but West as a whole. Similar to the Trump assassination, if it can happen in the US, it can happen anywhere. Which is why foreign politicians were so quick to condemn it.
