On September 11
Good morning, y'all:
My apologies for the delay in getting this out -- trouble getting to the library plus a troublesome work schedule caused a few things to be pushed off the stove.
Two great articles here. One is from Dan McLaughlin over at Redstate.com; "Where I Was On September 11", giving his eyewitness testamony as to the events of 9/11, and some of his thoughts. The post was originally written just after the terrorist attacks, so it gives some of the raw, unfiltered sort of first-hand experience as to what happened, especially when you're running late, but on your way to the 54th floor of Tower 1. The second is from Doctor Zero, "To Battle The Unimaginable." Given all the excitement over mosques, burning Qu'rans, and First Amendment rights, he reflects a little bit on the fact that, despite it all, our flag has never been truly desecrated, and how, regardless of scope or scale, America truly is a fight against previously unimaginable forces. Both are worth a few moments of your time.
Next year, I'll be a little bit more timely. Or at least I'll try...
