Commemoration of September 11
While the United Kingdom is mourning the British Queen, the other half of the Anglo-Saxon world is holding commemorations for September 11. President Joe Biden of the United States has just concluded his speech at the Pentagon.
He commemorated the event by recounting his personal memory of the terrorist incident, describing how, as a senator, he was bewildered and stunned by the fire and blood resulting from the attacks, and he spoke of America’s united fight against its enemy. He has a personal connection to the consequences of this event, as his son fought in the subsequent battles in the Middle East and lost his life due to its consequences.
He highlighted the revenge his country took during his vice presidency under Barack Obama against Osama bin Laden, and the revenge he himself took against Ayman al-Zawahiri, as major achievements of the United States.
