I also want to honor the cease-fire for 9/11 to remember that awful day and the personal loss of so many, as well as the loss to our national spirit and confidence.
While in no way wanting to excuse those who planned and carried out the destruction, I do not think it was they who caused us to lose our national spirit and our confidence. On 9/11 and the few days after, we came together, resolute in our grief and national pride. And the world, most of it, was with us. Even Iran sent word it was with us, but our government spurned their offer.
And set a course that has been disastrous for us and for the world. I cannot say that we, as a nation, have learned the lessons we should have learned from this. I am very afraid that we are about to demonstrate with this election that we learned nothing.
We must not let that happen.
