Remembering 9/11: How Have We Changed and What Have We Learned?

Saturday will be the third anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the WTC. How
will we remember this event, what have we learned, how are we still suffering (both Americans and the rest of the world), how has our world changed, ... any other reflections. I found this a good place to start thinking about the third anniversary of 9/11:

NOW with Bill Moyers is hosting a series of reports on the conclusions of the 9/11 commission Moyers, who is generally considered to be a mainstream humanist, has been issuing some damning critiques of Post 9/11 American politics.

I would appreciate any other links to useful sites that seek to make meaning out the events of 9/11 and Its Aftermath--if you post them in the comments I'll put them in this page with full credit.
