Mr. Smith111,
I agree with you on all points. But rather than turn this into a political discussion, or highjack the thread, would anyone like to share their memories of that day?
I was working corporate in the Pacific Northwest at the time. Was just pulling into the parking lot when my car radio announced a special bulletin. Not interested, as I knew I had a full work load on schedule for the day, I turned off my car and entered the building. As I settled into my desk, I turned on my small radio, as was my habit, as the announcement of the second plane was made.
All my co-workers and I sat in stunned disbelief as the reports continued to come in. Not much was accomplished that day as tears and rage overtook all of us.
When I left work that day, I spent the entire evening walking in Waterfront Park along the Columbia River. When I came upon the Battleship Oregon Memorial in the park, there were several people there already. I finally collapsed on a bench and cried like a baby.
