I think that should be emphasized, not necessarily for those who regularly contribute to this thread, but for the average American who doesn't understand that the symbol of America is not always negative. We remember seeing people all over the world express their solidarity with us.
And even in the places where there is little light, people understood the threat to America. The liberties that we enjoy so easily, were threatened on that day. And even in places where the people are suppressed into silence, the people reacted with compassion. We are still the beacon of hope that can unite people in the darkest of places.
