The following portion of this Los Angelos Times editorial (written by Pico Iyer and featured in today's edition) was just featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno:
Today is the first day when Sept. 11 no longer has to signify a particular traumatic incident; it can refer now to a new day, Sept. 11, 2002. The United States will always be, to some extent, imprisoned by its power. But if it can show the world that it can be humble and ready to change, some good may yet come of all it has suffered. Perhaps the best thing we can learn from older nations--Vietnam, say, or Japan--is that the most useful response to loss is to start looking beyond our wounds and toward how we can avoid hurting others, and getting hurt, again.
Speaking of tasteless, inappropriate, callous, and just plain offensive, i do believe this printed opinion tops even Ravenstar's original post concerning 9/11. How in the fuck could the la times print such crap--editorial or not--particularly today? Why doesn't the bastard just come out and say, "we deserved everything we got" and spare us his roundabout bullshit!
