Never forget September 11!
It's very important to remember today, especially because so many people want to forget what happened eight years ago. And because it's human nature to forget. I say this as someone who dislikes being repetitive, and while it's tough to find anything new to say about 9/11, I did find a new (at least hitherto unknown) video which Gateway Pundit linked. It's an accidental video, which happened because some guy set his camera out on a balcony after the first plane hit, and then left it there -- not knowing it would record the second crash. Chilling in its robotic simplicity. And wouldn't you think that after the passage of eight years, the 9/11 memorial would be maybe, um, finished? Think again. Via Bill Quick, Mark Steyn observes that the gaping hole is still there, which he sees as emblematic of government inefficiency: it's pathetic that eight years after 9/11 Ground Zero is still a big hole in the ground, but these days the biggest obstacle to making things happen is Big Government of the kind Thomas Friedman mostly favorsIt is pathetic but typical, and if I had lost a friend or relative there I'd be more outraged. I'm sure they've held countless committee meetings, though, and spent lots of money debating the hole as they create more obstacles to making anything happen. I'd say "Thank God they're not yet in charge of health care!" except that's not the topic of this post. Once again, never forget. MORE: Don't miss this PJTV video, in which Bill Whittle, Stephen Green, and Scott Ott look at just two victims in detail, and share more footage which has never been shown by the MSM (and never will). Very moving. (Via Glenn Reynolds, who has a number of 9/11 links today.) posted by Eric on 09.11.09 at 09:25 AM

Well, that's fair enough. I could see leaving it the way it is too. But they're not going to. Eric Scheie · September 11, 2009 10:06 AM If the hole was the memorial, I would be fine with it too. Instead it is a tribute to cowardice and bureaucratic red-tape.

I seldom respond to any articles I read. however, I must respond to this one.
I find that gaping hole in the ground to be a suitable reminder that those that died on this day were torn from us, leaving a gaping hole in many lives. Look on this place and feel the loss and see an unhealed and ghastly wound.
