One of the thoughts about those buildings while I was in NJ was that city skylines change all the time. But, usually, they change because someone wants to build something newer, hopefully better. This time the change was because some people who hate us decided to kill thousands of us and destoy us. It has stirred an anger in me I didn't think I had. And I didn't know anyone who was killed and I don't live in NY. But, still I am so angry. I have thought about making a trip to see ground zero. But, frankly, I am already so angry, I'm not sure I could handle it.
I am afraid we will forget too soon and our resolve will fade. Things like the Johnny Bin Walker plea bargain, coddling the prisoners in Gitmo, etc. I really wonder if we have what it takes. Maybe instead of re-instituting the draft, we should institute a "go to NY and see where the WTC used to be" policy or maybe go to the place where all the rubble was taken and see what used to be the WTC....
