All of us have to ask ourselves if revenge is approriate or is, in fact, the healing process can begin, even now. Terrorism is an old and effective weapon, but it can not be countered in the same way and win. The American flag is everywhere now, and it can help those suddenly unsure of the world we live in to focus on what is needed now. It can, though, represent a darker side to patriotism, one that will continue a legacy of violence and hatred.
