Ech.
We wrote many a speech in the years following 9/11 that referred to what happened that Tuesday. Most of them were boring, all of them irrelevant to any lasting understanding of what happened that day. But in none of these speeches do we recall ascribing the 911 attacks to a “failure of human beings to understand each other and to learn to love each other.”
Thanks to Jon Keller for the find. He also links to an outstanding summation of what really happened that day by one of the surviving family members.

I'm sure if we'd only hugged them more in Afghanistan, this whole planes into buildings thing never would have happened.
Our bad.
Seriously. Come on. Give the guy a break. He's trying...really trying to make a difference here in Massachusetts. Give the guy some space.
His break is over. He squandered his whole "i'm trying to make a difference and ride the wave of the people" thing with his disastrous first 6 months. people wihtIN the government have no faith in him, how can anyone. And yeah, he's making a difference...by trying to bring THREE casinos to the state to help pay for all of the the things he promised during the campaign but for which he had no real or realistic plan to fund. Two words: buyer's remorse
