I got that as a powerpoint document on 9/12 last year. I think it's a great sentiment.
My problem with alot of the sentimentality that we have is dividing it from resolve.
My sister refuses to accept violence as an answer to violence, but I keep pointing out to her that some people actually have no respect for peace and love. Hitler, had he been physically opposed early on, would not have been as aggressive. Bin Laden, had a previous administration taken direct action, would have been less likely to have performed this act. These people want to destroy a lifestyle of which they are both jealous and scared. The concept of an open society is something they cannot grasp.
Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer" is one of the best books I've ever read about the types of people that would follow a Bin Laden. It's an easy read and has great insight.

TC, love the thoughts and agree with the actions as proper and much needed in our society EVEN IF 9/11 had not occurred. We all need to be reminded of what is important.
But I think we also need to maintain our resolve in opposing threats to a lifestyle that allows US to continue to recognize what is important.
