My blogs may be out of order. Last week I posted about a blog that I liked and showed my comments for the blog. Today, I am posting about a blog that I disagree with.

These blogs have no connections to discussions in class. However, since it was recently the 8th anniversary to the September 11 events, I decided to look into blogs discussing the event. Both these blogs refer to the ABC documentary "The Path to 9/11" which aired in 2006. The blogs state their boycott of the film when it aired and to this day now. They state how the film was produced by a right-wing supporter and try to blame 9/11 events on President Clinton. It is not their boycott that upsets me, but rather the "blame game" the documentary and the blogs have created. September 11 was a horrific event. It is believed that both President Clinton and President Bush may have had warnings of the attack, but I do not believe any one man or administration could have prevented an attack. I also believe instead of discussing who is to blame for the event, everyone will benefit more from discussing how NYC and the nation came together to pick up and pieces and move on.
