9/11 in the rear-view mirror…

leave a comment »

The Million Muslim March was a  complete bust,  with only a handful of participants, equaled by a group of Christians nearby.   The bikers  did far  better,  apparently getting  about half  of their goal,  and unlike the victims whining victimhood,  they were  about remembrance  and sacrifice,  and the ordinary people who  stepped up  that day.

Debra Burlingame,  sister of hero pilot Chic Burlingame,  went from  liberal to conservative.   She has found peace on a different path  than one  of the eyewitnesses.    Esquire magazine cared so little that it  botched its  coverage with a grotesquely misplaced caption.   The Massachusetts Port Authority cared so little that it conducted an  unannounced fire drill  at Logan Airport, where two of the hijacked planes departed from. Logan.

Since we have former congressman Ron Paul  blaming 9/11   on U.S. foreign policy,  it seems that former Mayor Rudy Giuliani is correct to  question whether  we have learned the proper lessons from 9/11.   David French  certainly  thinks not,  and the federal  government has  not.   We are  still a target  for terrorists,  though whether Capitol Hill is or was is still  a matter  of dispute.    There are still  things to  be discovered.   If you can bear an informative look back,  check out National Review’s  archives.

If you’re one of those people mosquitoes are especially attracted to,  this is  fantastic news.
