Silence...

The very significance of this day, makes it difficult to move on. A message from Al Qaeda’s #2 man, last week’s threat, and the warning for all non-Muslims to convert, make people weary as well. The fact, too, that it is now the fifth anniversary, the anniversary does not come with out controversy. But today, my blog is not for controversy. The ceremonies are solem, and CNN has stopped their ticker at the bottom to instead, list the 2,973 names of the people who perished in the terrible attacks on this day. There is a website calling on Americans to honor the memories of those who perished, whether you knew them, or not. The website is “ Mygooddeed.org”
I thought that was a beautiful idea.
People treat this now, as an opportunity to take advantage of the United States- through the conspiracy theories, and to play on the emotional footage of that day.
Partisan politics has no place, on this day. There are no Democrats, no Republicans…no independents. Just sorrow, and celebration of the lives they had, before this tragedy. Tomorrow, the controversy over why the WTC memorial has not been built, and why the city will not help the families have closur, why those who answered the call, and now suffer health problems- are not being properly compensated, and why the officials are disregarding families wishes, will return.
But, for now, it is time for remembrance
Never forget the heros in Pennsylvannia, New York, the Pentagon, Washington and across the nation, and across the world that were affected by the events of the day, and those that died.
Nor can we forget those that have died n Afghanistan and Iraq (2, 984), or those fighting, now. They too, deserve our thoughts and prayers on this day.

Good bye, for now.
