Like a lot of people, I was put off by Karl Rove's recent statements about "liberal" reactions to September 11th. I watched the World Trade Center collapse from my roof, and if this administration had done the job of capturing or killing Osama bin Laden I would have gone into the streets to celebrate with a million other liberal New Yorkers. Stab-in-the-back rhetoric will not change the unhappier history that is being written.
