And I didn't think I could be any more offended. (thanks for the link RG) Karen Hughes is starting the Bush mantra in its defense of explotation and says that 9/11 "really defined our future." She thinks "it's very tasteful. It's a reminder of our shared experience as a nation. I mean September 11th is not just some distant tragedy from the past, it really defined our future."

I believe strongly that 9/11 CHANGED our future. But there is no way in HELL it has defined it. How dare they? Think that thought process through -- if 9/11 defines our future, the terrorists have already won. And cannot be beaten. A terrorist, hate-filled, violent, irrational gesture will never define my future. When will people wake up? When?
