Ann Coulter has a good column today about 9/11 and the fact that there hasn't been another attack since that day.

I remember:
I remember the morning
it was kind of chilly as I tend to get to work early
The sky was mostly clear, there were some puffs of clouds
I happen to be looking out the window
thinking, and contemplating.
God made a wonderful planet for us to enjoy
the grass had just been mildly sprinkled and so was very green
there were birds in the field across the street
the grass had been freshly mowed

The news ticker on my monitor at work
I looked back to my screen, as I heard the distinctive beep
new news headlines had arrived.
then another, and another, and more.
I couldn't believe what I was reading
I began searching the major news sites
scouring the Net for information
news updates, live reports, video feeds
America was under attack.

As the day went on, the information became more clear
less speculation, and more quotes
The live video feeds began to be archived
the archives began to be replayed
America was under attack.

pain, suffering, and death
just hours previously
my mind and soul had been in Joy
now there was sympathy, and empathy
the stories of the pains and deaths
the stories of the lack of knowing
people hurting
people sacrificing
people in pain
"Where is my son"
"my daddy went to work this morning
and I haven't heard from him"
"I saw my husband the policeman go in that building
then I saw the building collapse on TV"

crying at work
the tears began to roll
that afternoon.
i was not able to do my job
i had been praying
then a dedicated, concentrated
prayer effort.
God began to speak to me
in a voice unheard
His love continues, His mercy abounds
His Grace always there
though the prerogative of some few
had affected us all.
our battle is not flesh and blood
our war is not against people
not even extremist people

America was under attack.
America had changed.
We raised our flags
we raised our heads
we continued to live
we continued to grow
we continued to love God.
