America remembers 9/11

Americans all over the nation paid tribute yesterday to the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks, as Washington and New York led the way in marking the third anniversary of the four hijackings that killed nearly 3,000 people.
    President Bush, in his remembrance, vowed to continue the aggressive prosecution of the war on terror to prevent another such attack from happening.
    "Three years after the attack on our country, Americans remain strong and resolute, patient in a just cause, and confident of the victory to come," he said in a rare live radio address from the Oval Office.
    The remarks capped a somber morning of emotional remembrances in Washington, New York and Pennsylvania, the sites three years ago of the deadliest morning in America since the attack on Pearl Harbor six decades earlier.
    "The struggle of good against evil was compressed into a single morning," Mr. Bush recalled. "In the space of only 102 minutes, our country lost more citizens than were lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Time has passed, but the memories do not fade."
    The president was flanked by a small group of police officers, firefighters and victims' relatives, including former Solicitor General Ted Olson, whose wife, Barbara, was killed in the crash of American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon.

I was rather disappointed in all of the networks today. While family members read loved ones names and recited poems they had written, the talking heads were so busy trying to trash the President that they let us hear very little of what the people were saying. Doris Kerns, the partisan "revisor of history" couldn't resist mentioning more than once that some don't agree with Iraq war etc. This was all about them, not the victims or families.
