As we inch towards another anniversary of the September 11 attacks and the cowardly attack on Beslan School Number 1 in Russia, we have to wonder what the world has learned in the intervening years. In America, partisan bickering continues over the future in Iraq, and in Russia borders skirmishes continue over disputed provinces of the Republic of Georgia.
Hollywood has deemed enough time has passed since the attacks on the Twin Towers to start making movies about the tragedy. As usual, the Hollywood elite condemn America for actions they believe caused the attack, and then exploit the situation to make their money.
The question remains, however, about whether the world is any safer today than it was then. Make your own judgment on whether America as a whole is safer since that answer is beyond the reach of most of us.
