Fifteen Years Later

I have little to nothing to say about the 9/11 attacks.  All I can say is that I was ten-years-old when it happened.  It was also my very first exposure to Islamic ideas, which meant that I feel into the prejudice trap.  It has taken me years to recognize that most Muslims are honest people who do not want to see their neighbors blown up.  But I have also learned just how complicated a lot of issues are, and that there is often no clear-cut answer to many of the questions today.  

I'd talk about what needs to be done, but I would only go off on a riff, so I will simply for those who lost families when the Twin Towers were destroyed.
