I take no pleasure in this...
It's annual I Told You So day again.
I remember in 2001 how angry people were at me for being so cynical. I said the republicans would use the event as a way to institute martial law and build up the military. They'd use it as a weapon against liberals. They'd use it as a justification to invade Iraq. They'd use it as a weapon against immigrants and non-christians.
Everyone was outraged at me. They said the repubs were not a bunch of monsters and that surely they wouldn't be using such a horrible tragedy to their gain. No one could be that shallow.
I wish the people who said those things had been right but, I did try to warn you. :(

On Sept 12, 2001 we were the most empathised with. Today, we are the most hated nation in the world.
