I think that, on this day, we must support your sadness and think about all
of you.

But don't forget, when we ever look the past, we shall fall in the
forgetting

Today, I remember.

I remember my 3000 countrymen, and the hundreds of visitors to my country
who were lost a year ago.

I know I'm going to hear from some of you, who seem to think that I have no
right to be sad about this tragedy because it happened to Americans, and
you're tired of hearing Americans go on about themselves.  But I don't care.
I woke up a year ago to find that my country was under attack, and was in
fear of the next attack, for we didn't know when or where it would be.  I
almost vomited when the towers collapsed, crushing, obliterating people
whose only crime was going to work that day.

Tomorrow I'll worry about Bush and Iraq and what the right course of action
is.  Tomorrow, I'll think the millions starving in Zimbabwe and Angola,
victims of tin pot dictators and power-hungry warlords.  Tomorrow, I'll send
off another donation to Amnesty International, or Doctors Without Borders,
or the Nature Conservancy, to help them save the world.

Today, I remember.
