Did I get what I needed in New York? Yes. Yes, I did. Can I articulate better now, afterwards, what it was that I needed? No. I still can't find the words. It's enough for me to know that I saw what I could see personally. That I stand witness should anyone begin to ask, someday, during my lifetime, just what it is we're fighting for. That we are engaged in a battle for freedom and against tyranny, for justice and against evil. That I personally saw what went "Before" and what came "After" the 11th of September, 2001.

"It is in vain, sir, to extentuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
-- Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
