The
real Sept 11 question is, Are we on a path to be in a better place
next year?
The
contents of Teaching and Understanding Sept 11 are meant to
be a step in that direction by helping to provide larger frameworks
for this intense experience.
I
thought the Washington Post had an interesting survey about
the permanent changes 9-11 created in many people's lives,
occasionally making them more appreciate, honest and helpful people.
One of their columnists did a review of some of the best 9-11
memorial sites.
“Apparently,
the [Sept 11] dead are owed another war. But they are not. What
they are owed is a good, stand-up, bruising row over the fate of
America; just who determines it and for what end?”
