The anniversary approaches, cont.
Previous 9-11 anniversary post here.Jeff Jarvis writes again about the people who fell or jumped.
Terry Teachout writes about returning to NYC after 9-11.
A 9-11 memorial at a campus has been vandalized.
Michelle Malkin writes about denial. I have said many times that, when I was a teen, I used to wonder how people could just let Hitler come to power in the 1930s. When I visited the Holocaust museum as an adult, the most striking exhibit (after the pile of shoes - everyone is blown away by the pile of shoes) was the 20 or so issues of the daily New York Times, where one could read, sometimes even on the front page, how the Jews' civil rights were being recinded one by one, how deportations to the East were taking place. It was not taking place in secret; everybody knew. And even many people who thought it was wrong kept figuring out ways to not take it seriously. And I wondered how that could happen. And - watching the mental gyrations of the liberal/left around the world, after 9-11 - now I know.
This year 9-11 also happens to be the night when we recite pentitential prayers to get us in the frame of mind for the Days of Awe. In NYC at least one selichot service will explicitly work with the theme of 9-11.
What I wrote about selichot last year.
What I wrote in 2002.
Gerard van der Leun also resurrects a year-old post, and it is well worth rereading: The First Terrorist War.
Next installment here.
