The War Against Terrorism
We don’t want to mention the hundreds of people who died, all in the collapse of two buildings, the tons of concrete and metal crushing them. We’re leaving it up to posterity, perhaps, to consider whatever rationalle there might have been for “the attack” — the attack on us — the attacks in quasi-retaliation. We don’t hold on to the names, the faces, the lost lives themselves. We’ve branded the thing with a handy sanitized acronym, “9/11,” a miserable date — its too diffficult, or less newsworthy, to mention the thing otherwise.
And now, I bring you this, cracked from the mind of my friend J.Rock, who noticed:
The War Against Terrorism has the coolest acronym.
After all, we laugh at what strikes us as absurd.
