September 11 without politics by Silvia Szarkova

It is unbelievable, but it is true- it has been the seventh year since terrorists attacked the American powers and gave them a painful hit, which is an open wound till nowadays. Seven years till terrorist attacked also the World Trade Center and made the American world full of proud crash and turn upside down. This is a great event to put everything aside, stop for a moment and remember what this means for all of us- all of us who are still alive.

This one rare day- Thursday this year- was this time honored also by the both Presidential candidates- Republican John McCain and Democratic Barack Obama. This day was free of politics, free of competition. There were no speech, no fights, just the memory. They walked together into the great pit where World Trade Center once stood to honor the memory of those died in terrorist attack.

Surprisingly, one time they were laughing or chatting, other time just silently walking. Behind them, New York’s mayor Michael Bloomberg and Cindy McCain were walking. Michelle Obama stayed at home with their daughter. Right at the Ground Zero, at the bottom of the ramp, they stopped and laid a rose into the pool- a pink rose from Obama, yellow one from McCain. Then they went to speak with fire and police crew.

Earlier, McCain held a visit in western Pennsylvania, near to the place where the third out of four planes crashed. He declared that the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 are believed to turn off the terrorists´ idea of crashing with the plane. It is our deal to remember them all.

The two politics met again later that day at Columbia University forum on public service. Their appearance was separated, joined just with the hand shaking.

Yet at the Ground Zero, both thanked to police department and shook hands with the officers. Obama said: "Appreciate everything you do, God bless you all. We think about you this day and every day." According to Bloomberg, this is a last year of Ground Zero, because the ramp goes away for the rebuilding.
