9/11 WOTDs

Hello Historians,

Some great WOTD's:
Newburgh Conspiracy
Adam Smith
American Exceptionalism

Additionally, historians are already starting to debate the significance of 9/11 on the US. While most historians, at least the serious/scholarly/respected historians, agree that we cannot know what 9/11 will mean for US History until we live several more decades. Nonetheless it makes it even more important for you to understand the facts surrounding the events that happened in your life, your children and grandchildren will probably do reports in school asking you about your memories and knowledge of 9/11 one day.....could you give them an accurate account?

Here are 2 articles about 9/11, one is an opinion piece from the LA Times today, and another is an article from 2008. Enjoy.
