My two favorite 9/11 comments

Despite my intentions, I wound up
reading a smattering of the 9/11 coverage. Lots of energy expended by the
writers, I am not sure to what end. I think yesterday's Doonesbury
strip captured my feelings best.

And my second
favorite comment is from old Francis Fukuyama: "Since 2001 the most
important world-historical story has been the rise of China. This is a
development whose impact will almost certainly be felt in 50 years' time.
Whether anyone will remember Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida at that remove is a
different matter."
