Argggggh, rage, so much rage, at your first set of links.
I will never understand what makes people who were not in NY/DC/PA during 9/11 and had no friends or family affected by the event feel that they have more of a right to claim 9/11 as their personal tragedy more than, say, my Muslim-American friends who were actually in downtown Manhattan on 9/11, who lost loved ones in the World Trade Center, and on top of all that, who had to deal with the resulting Islamophobia to this very day. Just...too much rage.
Will go to read your other links to cheer myself up.
