>> we compiled reactions immediately after the attacks and, remember those days. there were a number of feelings. one was a sense of shock that this keep of evil could be unleashed on us. disbelief. where do they hate us, who are they the second was a sense of solidarity and suffering. remember those times around the world, again and againing we're all americans. it was almost a sacred time that we entered into and we're all suffering together and resolved this -- to resolve this sense of hope if&future for the feeling. >> did you find the division and this is what it speaks to, the division of politics or religion? >> there was not a sense of division then and you remember the moments afterwards that went on, really and that was a sense we were all sharing the suffering together. unfortunately, if you look at the two legacies that have come out of those attacks and they have not brought healing or hope. one is the war. the war in iraq and afghanistan have gone on and on and seals to many of us pointless r there is no clear measure of victory or defeat. the enemy is a shadow enemy and we don't feel vindicated or that justice has been done. and the second is grouping. >> when we talk about the division or, i guess my question is who did it feel like was the enemy and you said like this invisible enemy because now we see the burning of the q'uran. is it islam or the extremists? do we get the message mixed as we do with this preacher in florida wanting to burn the holy book s. he missing the point and do a lot of americans, in your opinion, miss the point of who the enemy is? >> i think it's unclear who the enemy is, but part of this problem comes from the lack of resolution and is this is where i go back to the second symbol, young. humans have a great need to memorialize and bury the dead. think of the gettysburg address. 4 1/2 months after the men die on the battlefields in pennsylvania. the town of gettysburg wanted to bury them and did but the whole nation gathered together and said we're going to make it a national cemetary and lincoln went up 4 1/2 months later and delivered this memorable address and we have memorialized the address in the attacks and at the pentagon and in pennsylvania. the pentagon, we have a memorial, it's not unlike the memorial close by, arlington, we can move on and not ground zero. it's a gaping hole in the ground, it's a hole in our national site and there are mean reasons why it's difficult to move on, but they have failed to give us any sense of closure, and i think then you have imam faisel comes in and wants to build what he describes is a ymca and has been there for 25 years, doesn't see it as a memorial. others right or wrong, like pastor jones sees this as a desecration of holy ground. he said i'm going to desgreat something, the q'uran. >> that speaks directly to what bothers us, that the mosque would be built in the holy ground? >> right. i don't think there would be an issue if the memorial was built there and this would have been soon as a community center or pastor, an imam taking care of his people and building a community center. >> unfortunately we have to end it there, he's the author of beauty for ashes, an attack of americans. and professor at mason university. thank you so much. >> you're welcome. coming up next, held in iran for more than a year. an american hockeyer is headed home. and beaver almost busted. -- why justin bieber's squeaky- clean image was almost ruined by a run-in with a state trooper during the maryland state fair. first, fancy felines from around the country are coming to the dallas exñ -- dulles expo center. we'll check in at the national cat show. an interesting cat there coming up. ♪ i thought it was over here... ♪ [car horn honks] our outback always gets us there... ... sometimes it just takes us a little longer to get back. ♪ in case of everyday emergencies... guys, go get changed! ...or soccer practice, it's important to be prepared for dinner. that's why i've prepared my perdue perfect portions fresh chicken breasts. they're individually wrapped, so you can cook what you need and store what you don't. we're not playing helicopter now. ready when you are, they're trimmed of fat and consistently sized to cook in just 10 minutes. life's not perfect. that's why there's perdue perfect portions.
