yesterday, the nation paused on the 20th anniversary of the september 11th attacks. i spoke to the woman who was the national security adviser that day, condoleezza rice, and the war on afghanistan and i talked to him after the first plane and we both thought perhaps it was an accident of some sort, but then when the second plane went in, we knew it was a terrorist attack. our conversation was rather sharp and short. he said, i m coming back. i said, mr. president, you can t come back here, and i raised my voice to him, which you don t do to the president of the united states. but i needed him to understand that he couldn t come back because it wasn t safe, and he was really a little bit angry.
