9/11 Dreams
Tomorrow is Sept. 11, a day we will remember for a very long time. But how best to mark the day?
We certainly will remember it with deep sorrow for all of the families that lost a loved one. But let us also remember it as the day that our cowboy president set this country on the road to isolation with a billion-dollar-a-week military cattle drive. Unlike Pepsi and the NFL – which capitalize on the horror of this war to sell their products – we should use the memories of Sept. 11 to think about peace and to dream of a nation that spends $1 billion a week on health care, education and affordable housing for its children and their grandparents.
