"There's nothing intelligent to say about a massacre."

I tried to find something original to say about the 6th anniversary of 9/11 but I couldn't. Words are simply too inadequate to capture all the thoughts, feelings, reflections, and realities a humble person like myself felt and continue to feel about it. Sadly, this tragic event was, as is the American way, rapidly turned into a commodity, one to be used for financial and political gain. But then maybe that means the terrorists really have lost since it didn't change any of our old bad habit. Anyway, I think Kurt Vonnegut put it best in his book Slaughterhouse-Five when he wrote "There's nothing intelligent to say about a massacre."
