The passengers on the plane which was intended to hit the White House fought back at the cost of their lives and in so doing saved many. Stricken and profoundly shocked the free and democratic world reeled, but then mourned the dead, recovered and rebuilt.\u00a0 We will never forget those who perished. The One World Trade Center now stands on what was once a site of carnage and wanton murder.<\/p>\n<p>The mastermind of this appalling day staining human history was Osama Bin Laden. He could and did run, but there was eventually no place for him to hide. A US Military Team located him and as then President Barack Obama said: \u201cSo his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s no delude ourselves that these crimes were brutal, bestial and the people who committed them behaved like animals. As Mark Twain observed about murder, this is a Human Action!\u00a0 He bluntly stated: \u201cOf all the animals, man is the only one who is cruel. He is the only one who inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it. It\u2019s a trait not known to the Higher Animals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mankind encompasses the very best yet also the very worst. The hights and the lows.\u00a0 On this day of all days, we must continue to strive and find solutions to our problems through peace, kindness and generosity of spirit.\u00a0 We all live as neighbors in the same world.<\/p>\n<p>As President John F Kennedy once said: \u201cMankind must put an end to war\u2026before war puts an end to Mankind!<\/p>\n<p>We still have time!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9\/11 Anniversary\u00a0 Today September 11th\u00a0is seared into our collective memory\u2026the day when hijacked commercial planes were flown into the Twin Trade Center and the Pentagon, by<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":163333,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[121,120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-163332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-main-news","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163332\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
