Houston, We Have a Solution http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/print/277078 On a warm Saturday evening in June 1943, crowds were relaxing on Belle Isle, a retreat slightly larger than New York’s Central Park nestled in the Detroit River, which separates Canada and the United States. Belle Isle’s landscapes and structures were a showcase of great American architecture: Frederick Law […]

The 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, complete with official speech-making, TV crews on ground zero and all the rest, seems to be evolving into an annual commemoration. So far so good, but what really matters are not the publicized festivities, but whether the reasons for 9/11—an unprovoked militant Islamic terrorist attack on the United States—remains etched in our collective memory. I am not optimistic. Left on its own, September 11th runs the risk of becoming just a one line item in those “On This Day in History” lists or a brief calendar note, and with that, comes amnesia.
Keeping history alive demands prodigious effort. As a youngster attending New York City public schools during the early 1950s civic holidays had a simple significance—no school. But, this benefit came with a price—an extra dollop of history. So, every February lessons covered George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and since Thanksgiving brought no school for two days, the Pilgrims got three days in the limelight. And this was on top of countless lectures that recounted America’s setbacks and subsequent triumphs. Holidays were teachable events even when school was not in session. During the 19th century July 4thmeant patriotic speech-making, essay contests and similar displays of national pride. Memorial Day, which actually began after the Civil War, had parades of veterans in military uniforms and solemn speeches honoring those who sacrificed their lives to preserve our freedom.

“That in a nutshell is why they are going to the United Nations, so that the annihilation of the Jewish state can be left on the back burner to be resumed afterwards. Based on their behavior the last 63 years, it is clear that they simply will not end the conflict until their goal of one Palestinian state in the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River is accomplished.”
As almost everyone knows by now, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is planning to march into the United Nations this month and demand statehood for the Palestinians by way of a Unilateral Declaration of Independence.
