> CB: Yes, Sept. 11 was a horrific mass murder, but that day fades further and further in the past. It is becoming ancient history like the stock market of October.
Ahem! Have you been in a bookstore lately? There is no shortage of crap that is designed to keep 9/11 alive for many Americans.
Let's not transfer our own feelings on the mass of average Americans.
On the other hand, I think that 9/11's effect on activism and progressive politics has been massively overstated.

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE
An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
