New York is my birth place and I have always been proud of it, even I have hated the lack of support of liberals for war on terror in Iraq. Kindless liberals continue to criticize Bush’s agenda for war on terror, just for their own hatred of the conservatives. I miss those days during the early days of Operation Enduring Freedom which both liberals and conservatives united as Americans. It is a sad fact that our country is rarely united unless the soil or interests are attacked, such as the attack on Pearl Harbour, war against Spain, and recently the 911. It is purely Clinton’s failure for not doing enough during his days as president to hunt down Osama Bin Laden.
Today, of all days, lets just stop with separations between us of all kinds– religous, political, and physical — and just remember the souls who died.
It’s not just about “not forgetting”. We should try and treat each other here in the U.S. like we are neighbors, and not like we are competitors. Be courteous to each other…look to help each other instead of helping ourselves. Instead of racing someone to the end of the merge lane, slow down and let them through. Instead of jumping in the grocery line before someone else, let them go ahead. If you see an elderly person having trouble with something, stop for a second and see if you can help them.
Remember, it was our neighbors…every day people…who died in those attacks. We need to pull together as a community to remember, learn, and change.
I’d like to echo Dan and DS’s sentiment. At least for a day, we should put aside politics and rhetoric and reach out to one another. Right on dude. Right on.

How could we ever forget with all the politicizing?
