America's Mayor

This is why, in the aftermath of September 11th, the country came to count on and adore Mayor Giuliani.

"The idea of trying to cast blame on President Clinton is just wrong for many, many reasons, not the least of which is I don't think he deserves it," Giuliani said in response to a question after an appearance with fellow Republican Charlie Crist, who is running for governor. "I don't think President Bush deserves it. The people who deserve blame for Sept. 11, I think we should remind ourselves, are the terrorists -- the Islamic fanatics -- who came here and killed us and want to come here again and do it."

Amen.

The attempt to cast blame for those events on one man or one Presidency is the attempt of one political opponent to gain ground against another. And it's nice to hear a politician who gets what September 11th really was reminding us that the politicizing of that day is reprehensible.
