Blogging from NY, NY - on the road
The trip to Ground Zero, site of the former World Trade Center began on the subway (after toasted bagels and cream cheese for breakfast).
I hadn't been there since the attack on September 11, 2001, a date which like December 7, 1941, will live forever as a day of infamy.
When I was in New York last time the complex was still standing, but that was in early August, 2001. The images of the people killed by the Wahabi Muslims/al Qaeda and of the towers on fire flashed through my mind.
Now, eight years later, the place is being rebuilt from below ground up. There will be taller buildings and a large park at ground level as a memorial for those people (who included Muslims working there) who lost their lives at the hands of terrorists.
We can never forget. I personally do not forgive.
There will be another World Trade Center. I hope the Chief Executive of the United States never apologizes for our reaction to 9/11 - though he seems inclined to apologize for a great deal that requires no apology.

He'll find a way to apologize for that too.
I hope he doesn't. I, too, choose not forgive. I knew 2 people who died that fateful day. One in Tower 1 who worked for Cantor Fitzgerald and the other was the Chief Purser on Flight 93 that crashed in Shanksville, PA.
Great idea to take your daughter there. We need to educate the younger generation about these things.

This is a day which I too will never forget, forgive for the devestation and the lives lost... what is forgiveness?
I will never forgive either.
