I started to read through this thread but got tired of the political opinions and arguing.
My condolences continue to go out to everyone who lost someone on September 11th.
That being said I do think its time that the memorials became more private and less public. Things like the Valour Bear and Hallmark cards to me totally belittle everything that these people go through on the anniversary of the attacks.
Furthermore to me one of the saddest things about the attacks is that it has lead to the death of 140,000 civillians of a country (Iraq) whose people did not commit the atrocity.
