This may de-hyphenate some people. I sure hope so.

Just my thoughts on this whole thing.....

Wait and see. I hope so too, but sometimes have been afraid that it's too late.

However, I grew up in the pre-WW2 era, and think back to the fact that the US was badly divided then. There were virulent pro- and anti-German groups, for example.

But Pearl Harbor ended that division. And maybe, as horrible as this day has been, the World Trade Center will unite us and remove some of the hyphens.
