Monday Lesson From History

What else is left to be said regarding the horror of the attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001? What strikes me most about the above image is the sky. The sky is amazingly clear, a crisp, unblemished blue background shockingly disrupted by the ugly explosion in the foreground. This says it all, the sky representing the peaceful world Americans thought they lived in, before never really experiencing terror within our borders. And this peace has just been destroyed in the most grotesque way, as the explosion sends our country and culture into a world from which we thought we were protected. Media ‘protected’ us from certain images that day, but they need to be seen to remember exactly what happened, and what changed us.
