Remembering 9/11

Posted on 11 September 2004 @ 20:39 in Opinion

Three years since this infernal atrocity against the most powerful nation on earth.

I’m sure there’ll be lots of memorials and lots of media coverage today and the few days to follow.

I’m sure the families of the victims will be interviewed (probably already interviewed for the stories to be published and the clippings to be broadcast today).

Thing is – why?

Why replay the atrocity all over again?

Why make the families remember?

I’m sure they remember without any prompting from the media.

I’m sure they’ll be grieving, but they should be allowed to do it in private.

Does it have to be in public?

Only in America …
