My Dream -
The year is 2032. A boy, about eight years old, is taking a walk with his grandfather in lower Manhattan. They come to a large field where the grandfather pauses, takes off his hat, and sighs. They boy turns to his grandfather and asks, "What's wrong, Grandpa?"
"Well, on this beautiful field used to be the World Trade Center. The two tallest buildings in the world used to sit right here on this spot. They were the heart of the world's financial center, and wonderful symbols of this great city of ours." "Where are they now, Grandpa?"
"Some Arabs blew them up back in 2001."
The boy thinks for a moment, then turns back and says: "What's an Arab?"
