I guess I wasn't clear enough. I agree with you, which is why I specified MEDIA navel-gazing. I don't mind individual people posting about it, mentioning it, etc. -- that's just honest expression. It's the public and ubiquitous CNN retrospective/heroic movie/special flag at the post office/president's yearly memorial speech stuff that's obnoxious. It's propaganda, and at this point it should be totally clear that this sort of 9/11 boosterism is being used for a bad end.
