6th anniversary of 9/11. america's greatest single tragedy of modern times. and an important piece in the way america stands today.
iraq. partisan divide. country divide.
just the way the day is named and referenced - "nine eleven" - is so intrinsically american. only we report the days that way. it is our 'event', something that crosses the divides and everyone can feel sadness for, its just that the sadness has been transformed into different things - which has in turn initiated and ignited subsequent problems in our country.
fear. desire for vengeance. surprise. remorse. regret. anger. disillusionment.
all kinds of things for all sorts of americans. but mostly, especially on the anniversary, it's the sadness that has stuck.
