i think we focus on this event far too much, and have allowed it to become too much of what defines us. it was a horrible occurrence, and took a lot of innocent lives. but it should not become our defining moment, or let it rule us and be the compass that guides us. billions have been spent because of what happened-to what end? i saw an article that said we'd have had to have over 1500 terrorist attacks to justify the money we've spent. there's safe and aware, and there's paranoia, panic, hysteria and out of control fear.
