9.11 Digital Archive... is a site you should check out. This is from the site: "The Spetember 11th Digital Archive uses electronic media to collect, preserve, and present the history of the September 11, 2001 attacks."
Two Years On appears in today's NY Times.
Here's a bit: "Even as the twin towers were falling, we wondered what kind of world we would find ourselves living in in the future. The trauma of that day led us to expect an abrupt demarcation in our lives and in the life of the nation. How abrupt, how tragic it has been for many people cannot be overemphasized. But coming into this second anniversary, our response is more measured; there is a recognition that we are now living among the uncertain ripples thrown out by that collision of worlds. The purity of our first reactions has been eroded by time and by some of the uses that have begun to be made of 9/11..."
Foreign Views of U.S. Darken Since Sept. 11 was written by Richard Bernstein and also appears in the NY Times.
Here's a sample: "In the two years since Sept. 11, 2001, the view of the United States as a victim of terrorism that deserved the world's sympathy and support has given way to a widespread vision of America as an imperial power that has defied world opinion through unjustified and unilateral use of military force."
