Took me a minute to figure it out myself… a moment of silence. Much appreciated, and much more mature than the 9/11 ™ rhetoric we so often hear.
Hmm, the day when Pinochet took over power in Chile and resulted in the death/disaperance of nearly 40 thousand people? I guess it is worse than the terrorist attacks in NY, unless you count the craziness that sparkled in their governament that lead to the invasion and disrespect of lives in many countries.
A minute of silence for the dead of Iraq indeed.
I have a cousin who worked in the World Trade Center.
For triage, survivors were taken to Stuyvesant High School, my school.
Bad people bombed my home town and my family. And those people from my high school class who were not killed on 9/11 (at least on that I know was), include many who developed respiratory ailments from the dust-filled air that government officials swore was safe.
I cannot be objective about 9/11.
I thank you for your simple expression. It was as meaningful to me as seeing Senators Obama and McCain both at Ground Zero, for a short while setting aside the politics and showing that, in common, we are Americans, and honor those who died.
I can’t see your post…
