9/11
Peter Schultz
As 9/11 comes around once again,
Americans indulge themselves in what they take to be their story of suffering
and salvation. And in this story, other nations, other peoples are little more
than bit players, walk-ons, cameos in a drama full of suffering Americans
seeking solace through violence and war. With no blood on their hands, they
have nothing to repent for, no penance is needed, and redemption morphs into
revenge.
