Sep 12 and onward?
It's important that people remember what we're about here. But those who want to forget (those who are part of what Andrew Sullivan, back in September of 2001, called a "paralyzing, pseudo-clever, morally nihilist fifth column," plus those who are just tired of the war, or those who just naturally live in the eternal present) will forget -- or already have forgotten -- and the rest of us don't need a lot of reminding.
For those who might be "tired of the war" I offer no respite, but those who'll travel with me over these next few months may find tonic here. The time is fast approaching to leave precious things behind for just a while, and that cost is not too great to bear. After all, what things could be called precious if not worth any price?
"Up ahead they's a thousan' lives we might live, but when it comes, it'll on'y be one."Ma Joad, Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath
Honor the past.
