    There are annoying journalists here in Canada who seem to yearn for a day when the memory of 9/11 enters "the trash bin of history" and its importance forgotten. Isn't that crazy? (That was a quote from the article today.) They just don't understand how significant the event was. If I ever sell one of my film scripts, I'm happily moving to the States (L.A.).

    Some people use it to promote hatred and fear, as they were this weekend--using it as an excuse to have a Qu'ran burning in Florida and a protest in the streets of Manhattan against the Muslim community center slated to be built 2 blocks from Ground Zero. From that standpoint, I wish it wasn't bandied about the media so much.

    If we could keep it to one day of memorial activities for all who died on September 11, 2001--not just in the Twin Towers but also in the Pentagon and Pennsylvania--that would be better. If we could use it as a day to renew (or make for the first time) a pledge to unite as a country and take a stand against hatred, fear, and ignorance, that would be even better.

    I still can't look at pictures or video footage from that day without crying. I can only imagine what it's like for the survivors of those who perished. So few remains were found. Many were never positively identified. So for many of the survivors, their loved ones went to work or got on a plane and never came back. There's no clean break; you just have the loss with no resolution. No body to bury, nothing to say goodbye to. Eventually you just become resigned to the fact, but it's so ragged.

    Canada lost 24 citizens in the attacks. If they're ready to move on, let 'em. But they can't tell me how to commemorate a horrific event that happened in my own country.

    As a matter of fact, citizens from at least 54 countries around the globe died in the attacks. So really, it's not just the US that mourns--it's people in those other 54 countries.
