I've been thinking about what to blog for today. I could write about the evil of the terrorists who plan and executed those awful acts. Or how the American people really showed what we're made of at Ground Zero and on the downed flight. Or about the cynical way in which the administration has used the attacks to advance their own petty power grabs. Or that it takes a lot more to conquer a nation this great. But I'm just going to go back to basics. This is about a good a declaration of American values, hopes and dreams as anyone will be able to find. If we return to the principles embodied here, we will always be fine.
