Being in Michigan on Sept 11, 2001 did not lessen the realization that we had been attacked.  Not by a nation, but by people who share a belief set capable of mass murder.. known to NO religion.

No..  This did not happen in Michigan, but it makes it no less important to understand the foundation that makes such things possible. In a Half hour it will be 9 years since the first plane hit the first tower.  In that time, how we have bent over backwards to call such things "man made disasters," "tragedies," etc... Anything but what they are: Violent examples of a twisted political ideology.
