This year I had nightmares about the World Trade Center for the week before September 11th. Strange how much stronger my feeling of dread was as the day approached compared to last year. Maybe the war in Iraq is part of it. I don't know. I do know that September 12th brought me a great feeling of relief.

Though I do not think that Bush is doing a great job, I also think it is ridiculous to blame him for Septemebr 11th. Or the FBI. Or anyone else. Americans did not believe that an attack of this nature was possible on home ground. We were complacent. And we have had a terrible wake up call. Recent reports of a man smuggled in cargo on an airliner and spent uranium shipped by a TV station to prove how lax security still is suggest we can expect more of the same.
