"There is a deep hunger in America post-Sept. 11 in many people who feel
this is their war in their backyard and they would like to be summoned by the
president to do something more than go shopping. If you
just look at the amount of money spontaneously donated to victims' families,
it's clear that there is a deep reservoir of energy out there that could be
channeled to become a real force for American renewal and transformation — and
it's not being done." Excellent editorial in today's NY Times (free registration
required) by Tom Friedman exhorting Bush to use his currently formidable
political capital by calling on Americans to step up and "be the best country,
and the best global citizens, we can be."
