While we set aside this day to remember those who perished, both Americans and other nationalities who have perished by the hand of Radical Islam on that day, Christopher Hitchens reminds us that we are in a war. A war that the WORLD better join forces to fight, or suffer the consequences.

“Anyone who lost their “innocence” on September 11 was too na?Øve by far, or too stupid to begin with. On that day, we learned what we ought to have known already, which is that clerical fanaticism means to fight a war which can only have one victor. Afghans, Kurds, Kashmiris, Timorese and many others could have told us this from experience, and for nothing (and did warn us, especially in the person of Ahmad Shah Massoud, leader of Afghanistan’s Northern Alliance). Does anyone suppose that an ideology that slaughters and enslaves them will ever be amenable to “us”? The first duty, therefore, is one of solidarity with bin-Ladenism’s other victims and targets, from India to Kurdistan.”

Radical Islam is the enemy not only of America, but of the world. We had better not forget to remember who caused this attack and who we must defeat to insure it never happens again.

Much more at Wizbang with links from around the web.

Also Michelle Malkin with MUCH more remembrances.

More pictures you might not have seen from a resident in the area that day.

Newsmax with a great entry page up on their site, and don’t forget who let Osama go.

UPDATE II: Outside the Beltway with more “remembrances” from the Left. Notice on this day when the left accused President Bush of being “political”, it’s ever what they made the day – from their warped perspective – to be.
