At Ground Zero Exhibit, More Clinton Than Giuliani
in response to reader comment: how could we forget?

I don't think we should remember 9/11 at all. I think we should pretend it never happened and anybody who does meniton it in anyway, except to pity the family members over their "loss" or pity ourselves out of our "loss" or to use it somehow to mock all the people and values we loved to mock in the decades before 9/11 is obviously exploiting it. To imply that we were attacked that day, that America was the innocent target of a foreign, non-western, non-Judeo-Christian, aggressors who attacked for their own evil reason, attacked values that are noble and right and worth dying for, and therefore, worth fighting for, and therefore our military is a right and just institution well, that renders me obsolete. So let's forget the facts of 9/11 and just mock those who believe otherwise. Because, after all, we're ever so smart. Until, of course, its our turn to stand 104 stories in the air, bid farewell to our lvoed ones over our cell phones and then jump.
