Thanks, JL. I know that I haven't forgotten. I'm afraid many people have, however.

Just an example: my hairdresser told me of one of her customers. The discussion started with the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. She's upset about N. Korea having nukes because, as she put it, "They can HIT us with one of those!" Daggie (the hairdresser) reminded her that we've already been hit, and that's why we're at war. She dismissed it by saying, "Us! I meant us here in California!". You see, she's one of these people who thinks that President Bush is simply a war monger, and that we shouldn't be fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. So what if Al Quaeda attacked New York and Washington, they left "us" alone. God, that just makes me sicker than I can say.

My one brother who retired from the Marines made a comment to me once

He said that these terrorists have been attacking us for years .. but it was at the military and many didn't pay attention. That it wasn't till 9/11 that many woke up to what has been going on .. because it hit home.

I know what you mean. This morning our boss was asked if we were going to observe the moment of silence and he says, "for what?"
