It's surprising to me the enthusiasm people seem to have, as if there had been no gap of ten years. That seems like a long time to me.

A lot of these people were very young in 2001, too. I find the nationalistic fervor somewhat repulsive, frankly. Plus, such joy in someone being killed is not my style. It is revenge, a popular motive, and a very understandable one, but it does not give me pleasure. On the other hand, if it slows down the Islamists, that would be great.
 
Well, if someone seeks your destruction it's only sensible to try to stop them. I don't consider it revenge. But a decade-long gap would indicate to me that it isn't a great triumph.

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
