I can’t say it any better than what I said 10 years ago.

Article of the Week
As to why all this has been banished from official memory, it has everything to do with the way postmodern historians, pseudo-left academic activists and a succession of Liberal politicians have shaped the way we are allowed to talk about ourselves. About the way we are instructed to talk about slavery, about racism, immigration and the dynamic role Indigenous people played in building a new world from the late 1700s to well into the 20th century. - Emancipation Day: Against Revisionism, by Terry Glavin

Timeless words, Isabel. Thanks.
Tom
Tom – Thank *you.*
Well said, Isabel. If you were going to say it again, is there anything you’d add? Subtract? What I didn’t hear, in the broadcasts of various 9/11 remembrances, was any sense that America had learned anything in the last 20 years. Grief, yes. But no sense that American policies might have contributed to the tragedy.

Jim – Thanks. As for adding/subtracting, I don’t think I’d get into policy complications in this piece, since the 9/11 attacks weren’t my subject, merely my vehicle, as it were. Terrorism doesn’t arise in a policy vacuum – there is always context, if not exoneration. I suspect these points are better made/considered by folks inside the affected community.
Amen. Thank you for singing about the unsung.
Laurna – Thank you. I find it discouraging, a bit, that I have to remind myself of things I “know” and have to work to keep helpful perspectives (once found) front and centre. Realizations do tend to drift away.
To repeat Jim: Well said
Jim R – 🙂 Many thanks.
