One woman I worked with perished that day. A guy I was friends with went to the South Tower very early that morning. He told me if there had been anyone around to start schmoozing with he wouldn’t have made it out.
I doubt if anyone at my office will even ask me about the 9/11 picture I have on display. If anything, I worry that I will be asked to take down my political statement.
I listened to a conservative radio talk show host this morning say that he willingly goes through airport security. Islam declared war on the US, and our response is to delay travel for millions of people, for 22 years. If our strategy is to play defense, they will win someday. If they haven’t already.
