Call to Action

Monday I tried to give voice to feelings around 9/11; Antonius at Boring Diatribe finds in the aftermath a call to action: not the destruction of piling up more bodies (one notes that approximately as many American soldiers have died in our so-called war on terror as civilians were killed in the 9/11 attacks; and we don't even know for sure how many Iraqi civilians have died), but rather something constructive:

There has been much controversy over a memorial for the victims of 9/11, but any monument is so much empty steel and stone if we do not build the better world demanded of us.

Here, here.
