Today! 15th Anniversary! WTC BOMBING!!

Yes, it has been 15 years today since the WTC was bombed - an event most seem to forget, even though 6 people were killed, and over a thousand injured.  I remember it well, for 2 reasons:

1. The first, less important - in 1993 I was going through the WTC at least 3 days a week.  My memory of that time is vivid, and I am thankful I wasn't passing through as the bomb exploded.
2. And more importantly, I am reminded of it every day as we suffer with the effects of the non-response of our administration. 
   

Our administration was so embroiled in its' own scandals and indiscretions that it couldn't seem to focus on the seriousness of the attack, nor even understand the implications of not responding decisively and with appropriate action.  In fact, had they responded with 1/10th the tenacity that George Bush was 8 years later forced to (yes, I know how we all feel about GWB, but he wasn't responsible for the WTC bombing) then we probably wouldn't be living with todays' mess.

Had the Administration done the right things I doubt we would have seen the attack on the Towers in 2001, and I doubt we would be in Iraq today.

As we listen to the Obama / Clinton debate tonight, and the later real Presidential debates, we need to be looking for the person who will, as JFK put it - be asking not what their country can do for them, but what they can do for their country.
