This hits us where it hurts--which is why people made it go away. We'd rather wave flags and salute and get all saccharine.

I have been hating all the wallowing in 9/11 today. Because we never look at how Dubya and Cheney exploited what happened to invade a country that wasn't involved in the attack. And we never ask the question that will always haunt me--what if we had had a president who had actually paid attention to the security briefing on imminent attack instead of cutting brush on his fake ranch?

And while we are wallowing in the pictures of the brave first responders, we aren't talking about the lousy job we did taking care of the health problems those first responders developed because god forbid "America's mayor" provided the protective gear for them.
