I understand the POV, but I'm a little dubious. The attack had very long tentacles but was it a crime against me? I don't think so. It was an attack first on the people and property directly impacted, then against a symbol of corporate capitalism. Is it possible that some on the right who fail to see the logic of hate crimes were more likely to feel personally attacked on 9/11? *shrug* It puts a different spin on the right's claim to individualism.
