This tribute video towards those who died in 9/11 is more of a part of the propaganda engine to justify the War on Terror. On first watching the video it is obvious that whomever made the video believes the United States of America to be a special nation above reproach and with strength that is unmatchable. The video briefly focuses on the pain and magnitude of 9/11, but the War on Terror that the the video seems to be promoting takes up more of the video time, it is a reply to the highly televised event that killed almost 3,000 people.
This tribute is not to those who died, but to those who live and die in foreign lands a Nation back, that may have had nothing to do with the attacks.
9/11 was an attack on Americas freedom and democracy, and so the War on Terror was a liberation from tyranny. This video tribute shows the height of the United States view of themselves, especially the creator of the video. It shows the complete denial of all that is wrong with this country, the hubris that the United States has. The words of the song echo this hubris "This is a righteous cause so without doubt or pause I will do what my Country asks of me." The land of the free is also the land of the narrow minded, those who believe that their way is the right way with no leverage.
To add to the theory that the United States is a State above the rest, filled with noble people, the first line of the song which is played in this 'tribute' are "Oh, the cowards came by morning and attacked without a warning." First of all is the notion that someone is going to attack but beforehand send a message saying 'by the way I have three planes heading your way to blow you up, hope its no inconveniance'. Added to this is that the writer of the song called the plane hijakers cowards. Surely although it is a shameful act to take the life of another, it had to take courage to board a plane that you knowingly would never leave in one piece. It adds to the notion that America is a State above the rest. The bombing of Iraq was not cowardly, it was brave, however anyone against America is a coward.
This video is not a tribute to those who died in 9/11, it does not deserve such a title. It is more of an abomination, an insult to those innocents who died that fateful day.
