Just my two cents...
"Mrs. Bailey feels an obligation to travel from her home in suburban Lynnfield, Mass., to a federal courtroom in Boston, where 9/11 families can watch the Moussaoui trial on closed-circuit television..."
-I feel about this like I feel about television. If you don't like it, don't watch it. If it makes you upset, yet you still go and watch the trial, don't bitch to anyone about it, because it's your choice.
Also, the part about the "town meeting" kind of upset me. This woman seems to think that it isn't important for us to understand why we're hated, why others would WANT to bomb us. This kind of blind hatred/patriotism/trusting of the government/ignorance to anyone else is BAD. I'd much rather know why this happened than have a meeting where we talk about how we're right, they're wrong, and that's all there is.
I don't want to sound like I don't think 9/11 was a tragedy and a terrible thing. I'm just saying that these people are not making a whole lot of sense in their objections. I don't know how I'd feel if a former Taliban official came to my school...I'm just putting in my 2 cents...
