Two positive comments about Bush:
I lived and worked in Manhattan on 9/11. When I watched the live
TV feed of Bush arriving at ground zero, I was distressed because
his presence at what was still considered a rescue operation, would
interrupt the still frenzied dig and search for trapped victims.
Listening to Bush speak, he transformed my attitude, and I saw him
as our leader, speaking to , and for all of us, simultaneously. He was
briefly interrupting important work, but he was standing in the one place
where he could reassure the country and those who attacked us, that
he was up to the challenge of protecting us from further attacks and
of quickly making those responsible for the attacks answer for their actions.
I think that Bush is working as hard as he possibly can to do his job in
the way that he and his advisors perceive that to be.
Kinda OT....2 months after 9/11, I took an offer to move to an apartment
near ground zero and live there for 3 months. It felt disturbing, fascinating,
horrendous, and historic. <a href=http://me.to/wtc.jpg>The photo at this link</a> will enlarge if you click on
it. The building I lived in is in the top right hand corner next to the green
triangle on the Hudson River. To the right of that, I could watch the debris
from ground zero being towed to Staten Island in barges, 24 hours per day.
I took <a href="http://me.to/wtc">these pictures</a> from the roof of the
apartment building.
