One year ago, Bryant Park remembered the victims of the World Trade Center Bombing by arranging 2606 chairs in perfect formation all facing South. This was an incredibly solemn tribute seeing all those empty seats.
As I ponder the event eleven years ago I am reminded of what Samuel Johnson once said: "If Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, it is not merely because evil deeds may be performed in the name of Patriotism, because Patriotic fervor can obliterate moral distinction all together"
