Whether it's time to retire "God Bless America" during the 7th-inning stretch or not, the events of September 11 are still with us. We have a long, difficult road ahead in dealing with a new kind of threat, one the founders of our nation never could have foreseen, a threat that was simply inconceivable not so long ago. The country cannot "move on" until we take care of business, and we've only just begun doing that.
"Move on" is a favorite term of attorneys defending people who have committed loathsome crimes, as in "This has been a tragedy for everyone involved, and now the best thing is for all of us to move on and let the healing process begin." Translation: "No question my client did it, but what's done is done, so let's forget about it and not worry about punishing my client."
