9/11 in England

All week long there have been shows on television remembering the events of 9/11.  Today the church we attended also made reference to the anniversary and asked that as a stand against terrorism,  people sign a letter in support of a political prisoner in Iran.  The newspaper we bought--The Independent--focused every section on various aspects of 9/11.  The opening article, "The American Dream and the missing years" talked about how we have changed as a nation--no longer are we a nation of infinite possibilities and ever growing prosperity.  In London's Grosvenor Square, site of the American embassy in England, Prince Charles and David Cameron spoke to the British families who lost loved ones in the attack (67 British died in 9/11).  Nearby, about 100 members of radical Islamic groups protested by burning an American flag.
