The tenth anniversary of the terror attack on the U S involved thousands of people who were affected by it . The backlash also killed hundreds of thousands in the middle east and changed the world.

Some comfort comes out of the knowing that the world is somewhat neutered since. And the fact that   hatred is near exhausted and  its resolve never was strong enough to enable  use of weapons of mass destruction.This is a credit to those in the security job that was before and after. Though the ability to use the airliners as delivery vehicles is a threat, a secure cockpit and a fail-safe policy to never opening a cockpit to anyone in flight or before would be a reasonable diligence to keep going forward. A sense of civil liberty to the general public would be a desirable thing going forward also. And  a healing that includes understanding  to all that lost without justifying  why.This may  help the survivors. Common ground  is for those of us that have a civil life. To those that have to protect that right a different world view is a daily job and career which may never be fully put down.
