what I - and many others - have been saying for the past 9 years, but bears repeating
Ted Koppel: Nine years after 9/11, let's stop playing into bin Laden's hands
---
It seems that, if anything, people have just gotten stupider over the last 9 years - or at least the loons have louder megaphones. The bigotry and hatred and moronic actions were sickening then and they still are.
Bin Laden could never have imagined that 9 years later our country would be on the brink of collapse because of this day's attacks. Nearly every problem that this country faces now can be attributable to reactions to 9/11. It's just horrible that bush did far more than bin Laden could ever have wished for and took us down this terrible path we're now on. And it looks like the repugs just want to keep going instead of changing course.
