9/11 was a cash cow. In the early stages you got the sentimental stuff and songs that they decided were about 9/11 after the fact like Superman by Five for Fighting and New York Minute by Don Henly while banning sick jams like It's Raining Men. This shit was pulled in Canada...my parents just recently went to a play that was about people who got their flights redirected to Gander Newfoundland and it seemed like the first 3 months after 9/11 'people all coming together in the face of tragedy' schmaltz recaptured in what must be a punisher of a musical to sit through if saccharine folksy trash isnt your thing. Then the revenge media started ramping up. Canada was in Afghanistan but not Iraq so I only got war propaganda for Afghanistan but I recall getting shown a video in grade 9 about how evil the Taliban are (they arent great folks. I got in trouble for being pretty precocious about this shit at age 15 and asking if the Taliban were better prior to 9/11, cause they werent part of the attack, so if they were evil enough we had to go to war before the attack, why did we wait until now? Same teacher later kn the year while covering ww2 for history made us watch a vhs tape presumably abkut the holocaust and it was for the first 15 minutes and the rest was Israeli propaganda. This dodnt go over too well with the 5 or so kids who's parents had emigrating here from Lebanon. We have a lot of Lebanese immigrants here, most who came between the 50s and 70s and it seems a good chunk of em opened amazing takeout places, like chain pizza places cant get a foothold cause every block in the city core has a way better greasy food place and almost all are owned and run by Lebanese people, it slaps. They have a festival each year and its fun as hell. It would be really cool if people in my town would stop being shitty about Indian people coming here now while eating a fucking donair
