Cartoons

This image moved me because before 911 we seemed to have taken a lot of our freedoms in this country for granted. Who would have ever thought that another country or terrorist group would inflict so much pain
and fear to us the US.
Many things changed that day, I would say the country came together in a time of crisis. Patriotism was way up and the thoughts in Washington was more unified, party lines were dropped and the government actually worked together instead of bickering over who was going to have more control. Its just sad that was short lived.
This image shows the rising of something good and patriotic out of devastation. One thing I noticed the bloom is not a huge ever growing site. It is not totally healing the the original site but looks as though it is stunted unable to keep going because the patriotism is gone and the idea of politicians working together seems to have been pushed to the wayside.
