Andrew Sullivan has a bracing

Andrew Sullivan has a bracing essay in Time’s September 11 issue: “[M]ost of us know that there is no moving on from September 11. It wasn’t a random tragedy for which grief is a slow-acting salve. It was a massacre….It was an invasion….The appropriate response to this attack is therefore not grief or remembrance or sadness or reflection, although each of these has its place. The appropriate response is rage.” You should read the whole essay.
