5 Years Later - A day to remember, reflect and react.
I realize there are multiple areas to find this news, however I wanted to put up a stake here on AO remembering September 11th, 2001:

As people grapple with anger, sadness, frustration, loss and many other feelings today, US Americans should also ask ourselves if we are on the right path to ensure this never happens again? Not only from a security standpoint, but in the ways we deal with our domestic and foreign policies. If we have not seen the progress we have anticipated, then we need to take action NOW. This year we have mid-term elections, as a people, we have the responsibility to participate in our government and take charge so that we can improve our nation and our relationships to the international community. While this is a general ranting statement, and I realize that, there are many issues we need to take on, I am just taking off my town idiot hat and putting on my town cryer hat and am starting to ring the bell.
\"We\'re the middle children of history.... no purpose or place. We have no Great War, no Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We\'ve all been raised by television to believe that one day we\'ll all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars -- but we won\'t. And we\'re learning slowly that fact. And we\'re very, very pissed off.\" - Tyler (Brad Pitt) Fight Club.
