And while some of us want to extol our heroes, others want to assign blame and exact revenge. There is something else, though, lurking beyond all our justifiable anger and underneath all the fear nurtured and amplified by Dick Cheney; and that is a great and collective sadness. At some point - before the details and images of that day lose their sharp edges to the vagaries of history – we must acknowledge our sorrow if we are ever to repair our lives. Otherwise we’ll spend the rest of our days looking for non-existent weapons of mass destruction or enduring ABC documentaries exposing how Monica Lewinsky’s genitals caused the demise of Western civilization. President Bush argues that everything changed on 9/11, which justifies tapping your phone or rendering that guy from the 7-11 to some not-so-secret military prison in Bratslavia. Yet we still eat and sleep and slog through days filled with children and bills and flat tires. Let’s not forget we’re still human after all.
