'9/11 fatigue' is a natural response...
Dare she say it? Donna Nobles is fed up with being made to relive Sept. 11.
The elementary-school teacher's aide shared the fear Americans felt that day. She understands the need of families to memorialize loved ones who died.
But she thinks the continuing hand-wringing is radiating an air of weakness to our enemies. And she says it's time to stop. [Seattle Times]
Time passes, and the drums keep beating. The ears get tired, with no real direction, no real mission. We hear the victims complain that millions is not enough money. The President and his henchman cry out for more. They want to send our young men and women into Iraq, with no broad support. We will defeat them, but at what price? What will the international community think? What will we have done with the Moral Authority we gained in the wake of 9/11.
One year has passed and the pain is still there. Did they all die in vain for an administration that is too concerned with collecting power againast it's enemies, rather than dealing with the problems. Where will this lead us, and what of it will we pass to our children? The generation that fought WWII passed us the Cold War, fear of the bomb, the road to Vietnam, the most prosperous nation in history, and the a free society that gave the chance for prosperity to the rest of the world. What will we leave? I am not optomistic...mj
