The Left Remembers 9/11  —  Earlier, I collected a series of 9/11 anniversary reflections from the press and the blogosphere.  Many of them were moving but none were particularly novel.  By that, I mean that everyone pretty much agreed that the day was horrible, changed a lot of things about the world …
