The media remembrances are unrelenting as 9/11 approaches. Today, all the news is plastered with "a credible but uncorroborated threat of a car bomb attack in NYC or DC." The question for me, as it was 10 years ago as i stood in the ashes of the World Trade Center is, "What can i do to foster positive change?" i still struggle mightily with this question.
In Oct i will travel to Afghanistan with Voices for Creative Non-violence to speak with people who suffer daily from our response to that fateful day. The people of Afghanistan have 10 years of 9/11's with no end in sight.
