    I keep thinking, perhaps wrongly, that the problem of 9/11 is not *whether* we remember it, but *how* we remember it--which is, the uses to which we put remembering.

    Exactly. I have tended not to post my memories of the day or discuss the tragedy's still-unfolding aftermath, but rather to post this little animated gif, whose concision encapsulates quite a bit for me. I think Paul Krugman offered a particularly potent blog commentary, "The Years of Shame," about what happened in 9/11's wake, which also includes the uses and abuses to which remembering it have been put.
