Nothing to See Here – Three Years Later edition
Here, if you wish, are 9/11 remembrances to read: #
- At Buzz Machine, Jeff Jarvis, who was in the WTC on 9/11, remembers that America had a middle once; and Dr. Cline at The Rhetorica Network also notes three years of increasing divisiveness.
- Right On Red, which organized the online silent tribute this morning, has a remembrance and a list of other blogs participating in the look back.
- Athenae at First Draft has a couple of must-read links – a gripping eyewitness account, and another that reflects the experience of many of us across the country – and offers a few thoughts of her own.
- Jeanne at Body and Soul quotes James Carroll, who reminds us of something vitally important: we’re responsible for the actions of this country since September 11th. We don’t get to claim innocence just because we disagree with those policies; we must accept our responsibility to this democracy.
- To that point, Kevin Drum quotes Juan Cole assessment of how the US blew the response to 9/11 by getting bogged down in a guerrilla war in Iraq. Drum concludes, “We are where we are because of George Bush. Never forget that.” I would refer Kevin to the previous bullet point.
- Finally, The Poor Man quotes Matthew Yglasias.
