Arizona Monument That Blames America for 9/11 Gets Facelift

Back in September of 2006 it was reported that an Arizona monument built to memorialize the horrific events of 9/11 featured many phrases that blamed America for the attacks, yet not a one that blamed the terrorists.

The so-called memorial featured metal rings with phrases etched into them. Phrases like “Must bomb back,” “Foreign-born Americans afraid.” and “Erroneous U.S. air strike kills 46 Uruzgan civilians,” appear on the memorial. There are other phrases that seem to place the onus for the attacks on the US and these phrases have angered Arizonans since the day this abomination was unveiled.

Well it has taken two years, but the state legislature in Arizona has finally gotten around to begin to rectify the outrage. The Arizona Republic reports that the Arizona House voted to alter the 9/11 memorial this month.

Unfortunately, we ended up with another example of why Democrats cannot be trusted with our security as well as why it is a good assumption that most Democrats hate their own country. The Republic reports that the vote was practically a party line vote at 32 in favor to 26.

But, the fight isn’t over. Many who favor the anti-military and anti-American aspects of the “memorial” are vowing to fight to preserve their vision.

    “I don’t see how anyone can say this bill will actually end the controversy,” said Rep. Steve Farley, a Tucson Democrat who argued against Kavanagh’s measure. “This is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Democrats in Arizona government are fighting to keep the blame for 9/11 on the USA and the anti-US rhetoric on the “memorial.” Democrat Gov. Janet Napolitano once called the “memorial” an “impressive and meaningful” addition to the Arizona landscape.

But, there is hope that the hateful rhetoric inscribed into the “memorial” will be eliminated and replaced with more appropriate language. As the Arizona Republic reported the reaction of Rep. Bob Stump, a Peoria Republican, “The memorial as it now stands shows how far the roots of moral relativism have now spread.”

The fight isn’t over as the bill heads to the Arizona Senate for its consideration. But, so far the movement is in the right direction.

I didn't vote for her, and dislike her stance on alot of things. The Arizona monument is a crime against the military.
