The Source/Cause of the Infection!

[Eviebae]

I think there are platforms more suited to the discussion of that particular aspect of America's history. It also serves to push individuals away who don't view that event as being significant to them. There are people all over the world who have lived through mindbogglingly terrible events on a daily basis that would consider that particular event to be relatively inconsequential when juxtaposed to their village or city being carpet-bombed for days/weeks/months. Or living in cities where buses/cars/buildings explode on a weekly basis. Continually throwing it into the context of a singular event shows a lack of empathy for all of the people who deal with it as part of their daily existence.

All I'm saying is broaden the context.

I think if you want the discussion broadened, broaden it. "Shut up already about 9/11" is way less interesting than "you know what else illustrates or negates that point is..."
