Fair enough. Maybe what I meant is how long until nobody treats it like the national outrage it is. I guess that sounds more like what I'm thinking.
I think 9/11 is a little different, especially in New York. I think the country wanted and needed a memorial, but for a lot of New Yorkers it was too soon. And at the same time there wasn’t a country we could go nuke off the map for closure. It took far too long to get Bin Ladin, and it was kind of shitty and disrespectful that they built the memorial before that job was finished. The USS Arizona memorial didn’t open until 20 years after Pearl Harbor.
I don’t know if you get what I’m saying, but I think the rush to remember 9/11 made a lot of people want to forget it.
