Reliving 9/11?

I don’t know which makes me angrier: The filthy scum who perpetrated 9/11 or our government’s often inept response. (Wage war with Iraq? Sounds good to me! Underman troops in Afghanistan, the actual base of al-Qaida? Sure!) I would have been much more satisfied to see Osama bin Laden’s extremely dead head mounted on a stick. That would have been an appropriate response.
Which has me thinking twice about picking up Touching History: The Untold Story of the Drama that Unfolded in the Skies Over America on 9/11. One voice says, yes, learn the awful truth, the untold stories of unspeakable evil and amazing heroism. The other says, it’s done, why put yourself through one the worst days in our history again? I guess I don’t have to decide today.
I remember how empty the sky was in the days immediately after the attacks, how eerily empty. And then Bruce Springsteen up and writes Empty Sky on his 2002 album, The Rising.
