As a former New Yorker (born in New Jersey, raised in the NYC metro area, and a resident of Queens before moving to L.A.), I wish with all my heart that more New Yorkers would get it about Iraq and the War on Terrorism like this wonderful man did. From the President on down to the lowliest private, they are trying to prevent another 9/11. Sigh.
So do I. I live here and I feel everyday NYers going into that "I don't care about anything but myself and I want to forget about 9/1" mode.
