9/11 Is Over

Thomas Friedman has a nice piece over on NYTimes.com called 9/11 Is Over about how we need to move past 9/11 in our politics, since our reaction to 9/11 has been overwhelmingly horrible.

My reaction? Duh. And I'm pretty sure that's the reaction of most others I know. Maybe reality has finally set in for the Washington pundit set? But remember, these are the people who also all supported the Iraq war in 2003, when most other young college/high-school age kids were apathetically against it. I write apathetically against it, because while we were opposed to it, most of us couldn't be bothered to do anymore about it than join a Facebook group. Anyways, Slate Magazine put together a handy chart as a guide to positions on Iraq then and now for major politicans and pundits which is quite handy. The Iraq Position Locator is quite handy. Friedman isn't on it, but for your reference, he was pro war in 2003.
