First of all, thank you for this highly informative post. Here's my question:

For the most part, we can now see light at the end of the tunnel.

It has been almost 10 months since that tragic day, and hope is fading. ... I thought many things were going to change for the good. I thought wrong.

How do you reconcile your two comments here? First you say you can see light at the end of the tunnel and then later you say hope is fading. Thank you!

After 9/11 we saw a light at the end of the tunnel, and now it's fading or the lights an oncoming train.
