Never forget

The recent discovery in New York City of human remains–some as large as arm or leg bones–found at the site of the 11 September attacks is a ghostly reminder of why we are where we are today, with a looming mid-term election which could change the course of the war begun on 12 September.

The Democrats are pummelling the Republicans for running political ads referring to the 5-year-old attacks, contending the R’s are sleazy to make political points off tragedy, but of course they would do it too, given the chance to govern again. How could any party in good conscience not mention the threat and seek to meet it? The human remains at ground zero remind us what’s important.
