The same.
The fact that I am 40 miles from the site of the World Trade Center, and have
spent more of the past 36 hours crying than a grown man is "supposed" to,
doesn't change the logic one bit. I still hold that under some circumstances
terrorist attacks are worthy of the human spirit. I don't see how this was
one, but I may be merely hopelessly naive about our actions abroad.
