History, Remembered
ABC has an interesting article up in which they interview some of the students who were in the Florida classroom with Bush on 9/11. Most of them were only about 10 back then and are thus 15 now. I was struck by the following quote from one of the students:
¶ 10:43 AM
Andrews has a few questions for the president.
"What is he really doing to prevent war from happening, and what's he really doing to ensure our safety here?" he asked.
What left the biggest impression on these kids that day? The sadness, the tragedy of seeing so much death and destruction. And that is clearly where their focus remains. What are we doing to prevent more death and destruction? Not much.
