From David Bogner over at treppenwitz: A belated response:
I could go on and on… but the question remains: Why do we insist on narrowing the focus of our national attention rather than widening it?
If we were to have a single day on which we remembered all victims of the current war against Militant Islam, complete with a long list of names, dates, locations, etc…. I think it would go much further towards finally waking people out of their complacent idea that 9/11 was horrible a fluke… or a one-off attack carried out by a handful of dedicated fanatics.
