I stopped by Ground Zero this afternoon. I was going to try and avoid it at all costs, but it was inescapable somehow. You can read more about it on my personal blog.

I will say this, what struck me the most was an overlooked fact of the day. Years from now if you look up 9-11 on one of those “this day in history,” books you’ll probably see an entry on the collapse of the World Trade Centers. 9-11 will forever be linked to misery, sadness and violence.

But today, 9-11-06 was also the 100 year anniversary of Gandhi’s nonviolent revolution, which later inspired Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sad and somehow appropriate that this amazing leader should share such a date with Osama Bin Laden.
