Rudy Guliani said it best on Fox News Sunday last week: "Nobody owns 9/11." He was talking about the protests about Bush airing those images of 9/11. That it would be crazy if Bush left out any reference to 9/11, it happened during his presidency, that's a fact. The protests, particularly the press conference that the "families" aired their grievances, were sponsered by a group called "September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows", and anti-war group which recieves aid from "Moveon.org", a well known anti-Bush organization. I think that the outrage about the images is more politically motivated than anything else.

"Peaceful Tomorrows" is in essence trying to "own" those images but I'm sorry, they DON'T. Those images are part of us all. We were all affected by 9/11. We may have not lost loved ones, but plenty of us lost our sense of security. It's ridiculous for them to try to "possess" those images from the rest of us. They're ingrained in each of our minds. Bush has every right to use them, they belong to history.

Here's an interesting OP/ED piece on this:
