Are We a Nation of Sob-Sisters?

Every year the expression of grief gets more intense, elaborate, and agonizing as the media and politicians wax ever more eloquent. Grief is one of those sacred cows no one wants to tackle because to do so would somehow demean the loss of innocents, or so the panderers would have us believe. There is such a thing as closure and it would seem after a few years most of us would find it.
One point I would like to make is that what we are doing in reality is glorifying those who perpetrated the 9/11 disaster. When we go about mewling about 9/11 we are erecting a monument to the perpetrators of a dastardly crime. A better monument to those that were lost would be closing our borders and going after employers who may be hiring terrorists. To me that would offer some real closure--not going about making fine political speeches.
