Today Is September 11th

All we can add to that headline is that some years ago, when we visited the site of 9/11 in downtown Manhattan, there was a small blackboard on the fence surrounding the hole in the ground and on it — among the various sad and sentimental messages — someone had written with a fat felt-tip pen: “Never forget. Never forgive.”

As the Weekly Standard points out, in a couple of years kids entering high school will have no memory of 9/11. So some one has to remember because such memories make up the fabric  of a society.
