"Body and spirit come together during horrible tragedies when the bereaved are too struck to carry on. Thousands
of widows, widowers, mothers and fathers cannot. At a time of such sorrow it is a function which the leader of the
nation must perform."

The President might make a short speech but it was not necessary to turn the occasion into a showcase
for the Republican party, and I believe that the occasion was used for that purpose.

Consider the funeral for Princess Diana. The British people grieved. The British PM, Tony Blair,
helped organize the ceremony. I thought it was a done with decorum and beauty. Certainly, it was
a ceremony that people will remember. Yet, British politicians did not participate. The events were organized to celebrate the life and tragic death of a dead Princess. The Memorial should have been organized to
commenatore, in a non-political way, those who died from the September 11 tragedy.

PS: I want to apologize for the late response. It's been a very busy week.
