remember this september 11th the way it really was
sad, of course. but terrifying not because we were in imminent danger from alien muslims, but because everyone around us went batshit crazy. they lost their fucking minds. and we watched the sanity spiral out of an entire nation like filthy bathwater from an overfilled washbasin.never forget.

Like when my quaker mother said we had to go to war with someone. That was awesome.
Or the run up to the iraq conflict. When the media were falling all over themselves to say that while there wasn't any proof, they certainly weren't saying we shouldn't do it, and certainly there was 'controversy' over whether there was any proof. That was one of my favorite parts.
my favorite part was parsing the location of the theoretical hijackers on the traditional D&D good-evil / lawful-chaotic axes. to my knowledge, all that has been agreed upon is that: if there were hijackers, they were chaotic. drones and cruise missiles, while utterly badass on damage rolls, are technically unaligned. i suppose we could use their operators' alignments as proxies, but this debate seems to have died down. more pertinent now is that these axes have been either simplified or removed from 4th edition gameplay.
chaotic evil clerics, obvi. the real question is, what powerful divine magic did they release above the city of new york that immediately shifted the alignment of 90% of us to chaotic stupid?
their ability to "muddle the mind and the senses" is a giveaway: Atta et al. were clearly clerics of Shar, and adepts of shadow weave magic.
I suggest promptly appointing elminster secretary of defense. now more than ever, America requires the favour of Mystra.
