I have, with a certain sense of dread, been awaiting today. Our country seems so divided, and the divisions appear dogmatic. I look around and wonder if there is room for debate anymore.
This should be a day of unity. That is perhaps the one good thing that happened twenty-one years ago. We were attacked from without and we all pulled together. Will we pull together today? Last year, I seem to recall each side taking political pot-shots at each other over the ceremonies. Are those going to become literal?
If only we could remember 9/11 and what it was to be a country.
