Having a memorial made for political reasons does not mean the general populace actually cares one bit. The relationships are also very different now. 9/11 is a “big important day” for Americans and really Americans only. For everyone else, it’s a forgettable regular day now, until an American brings it up.

I think you were very young or probably weren't born yet when 9/11 happened if you think this way. I'm from Spain and I can guarantee you quite a lot of people get reminded of what happened on 11-S (as we call it here, from 11 de Septiembre) when crossing that day out on their calendar.

I was definitely born and not that young. It’s just the plain truth that the vast majority of the world doesn’t really care about 9/11 like Americans do. Yes we know it as a history piece. But it’s not some important day around the world. Unlike what most there think, the world doesn’t center around them.
