Today is the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States and it’s appropriate to reflect on that terrible day and its implications on current American policy and politics.

Let me begin by noting that I have now seen both of the highly publicized movies dealing with the attack – “United 93” and “World Trade Center.” I saw the “World Trade Center” movie over Labor Day weekend and found it deeply compelling. It was tastefully done and reminded us all about the heroism of ordinary people who were doing their job to protect the public.

As I observed in my earlier column about the “United 93” film, I do not think it is too early to revisit what happened that day as long as the movies are faithful to the actual events and are produced with a sensitivity to the feelings of the families involved. Both films clearly qualify. “World Trade Center” is stark and may be more than some people who lived through that day will want to see, even now.

However, both films continue to serve as a reminder that there are people in the world capable of doing great harm to our nation and we must be ever vigilant in defending against any future attacks on our own shores. Both political parties fully understand this and have supported funding for vital homeland security measures.
