A word of caution to the remaining grains of sanity left in our country, please do not get side-tracked by the inevitable onslaught of 9/11 tragedy peddlers.
As we approach the 3rd year anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, we are sure to be flooded by horrific images of death and destruction that will force us to relive the terror and vulnerability we felt that day.
Of course I don't put it past George W. Bush to capitalize on that window of opportunity to remind us that 'our plight against evil is not over'...or some verbal diarreah of that nature to try to convince the nation that we need to have him wage war for another four years--I don't think so. Meanwhile, scores of soldiers continue to die (mostly lower to middle-class young men and women--no one in Bush's friends and family network) in Iraq.
Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, forges ahead with terror plans in his videotaped speech yesterday while US soldiers hide out in trenches in Afghanistan.
And where's Osama? Maybe he's dead or perhaps he's being held in Pakistan awaiting a well choreographed and very visible capture for the press days before November's election.
Who the heck knows, but please do not get swept away by whatever opportunistic commemorative gestures that may take place within the next few days that will no doubt play to our emotions.
Remember the big picture and the players behind it.
