Today is the fourth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon, and the crash of a hijacked plane in Pennsylvania.
People the world over grieve today and remember the victims of those attacks.
Today we're still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Katrina.
People around the world feel the pain that this awful storm inflicted upon an entire nation and, in particular, a huge number of people who just happened to live in the wrong place.
I'm not a religious man. I don't believe in a superior being. But today I grieve and I remember and I honor the lives of the people who died and those who suffered and those who suffer still.
Let people believe what they wish. Let them get comfort where they can. As long as they don't insist that I share their beliefs, I don't begrudge their beliefs, regardless of how much I may regard them as fantasy. Today, I join millions of my fellow humans in tears and memories of people who suffer.
