Editorial: 25 years later, September 11 has not ended

Twenty-five years after the September 11, 2001 attacks that killed nearly three thousand people, an editorial from the newspaper ORegiões reflects on the lasting legacy of that day, from the "War on Terror" and the intervention in Afghanistan to the Taliban returning to power in 2021, including the legal proceedings still dragging on in Guantánamo without a final conviction. The article calls for a responsible memory that does not instrumentalize history, does not confuse terrorists with peoples or religions, and that recognizes both the mistakes and the democratic principles that must be defended. It emphasizes that the consequences of the attacks transcended the borders of the United States and that the fundamental question is not only what happened, but what the world did with what happened.
