So today we are two days away from the eleventh.
Good.
Like veterans day and memorial day we indeed should reflect on the wqars that have besieged us, mainly if you are in yourneigthies and remember Korea and the vietnam war s and the loss of indochina in 1954 and our current conflicts in the Middle east.
The tenth anniversary of 9/11 was a little overdone.
Good, because many people remember that day.
The first time in more than a hundred years that5 thre americn public had experienced the horror of a losing battle.
All other recent conflicta had been fought on a foreigh soil. But that day for the first time since the British burned the Whitehouse in 1862, I think, the American population witnessed the horror of war on their own soil - home!!
This indelible witnessing of the American soil violated by enemy forces has scarred the mind of our population and tyhis is why this event is paramount in our psyche and supplants all fears we may have of conflicts in foreign lands.
