The most striking thing for me about 9/11 is how normal our world has become in the last five years.
For most of us, those that have not lost someone in the initial attacks, the military response, or further attacks, the world has gone on - the stock market and economy recovered, the pop culture just as silly.
I fear our complacency. It's easy to put our head in the sand and wish the bad guys away, or maybe we hope they are really just like us, and all they need is more attention from their mothers, or jobs, or whatever else we can dream up to justify their actions.
9/11. It still brings up strong emotions for me. I don't know if they will ever fade. I don't know if I ever want them to.
