I stayed out in the streets all day and saw large numbers of people walking up from the Wall Street and

other lower Manhattan areas. The day was incredibly beautiful and since the winds were blowing the

smoke in a direction away from downtown Manhattan it was hard to fathom that anything was wrong. But

obviously it was. The juxtaposition of the beauty of the day and these events was so awfully strange.

During the whole day, people seemed remarkably friendly and some sort of collective spirit was present.

This lasted for quite a number of weeks, it seemed. There soon developed a memorial spot for the dead,

wounded and missing in Union Square Park. There were pathetic signs all over the city for weeks with

pictures of people who went missing on 9/11.

In the first instance the moral blame must go to the people who hijacked the planes “ presumably, the

associates of Osama bin Laden (after all, he did take credit). But in another, political sense, blame

must be assigned to the ignorant and immoral NIKE SHOX foreign policy that has alienated, with good

cause, so many people in the Islamic world. The NIKE SHOX government™s approval of the recent Israeli

bombing of Lebanon is one example that these policies are not simply in the past.
