Many of us have read our local papers and magazines and seen our local Editorial and Op-Ed pages. In one way or another, they are designed to
provoke thought and/or interest about local or nation news and events.

The following links are what the world Op-Ed cartoonist have drawn over the past several years about the event of and following 9.11.01

Some of very powerful and full of emotion. Some maybe thought of as over the top political.

Many are just thought provoking.

And there are a few down right clinkers.

One thing I saw was that there was a general shift in message presented.

I see it as a combination of both the "Editorial" POV and society POV.

My girlfriend took her lunch hour to walk down to ground zero on 9.11
She she saw something or rather someone who stood out:
A 20 something guy, sitting on curb, holding a shirt very tightly, closely to his body. He was in uncontrollable tears. Why was he there? Who did he lose? Father? Mother? Sister or Brother? A Friend? Or was this his first trip
to ground zero and he was just releasing 6 years of emotions?

Could be any or all of the above. Or something else.
Just shows you what goes on besides what goes on during the planned
ceremony.
