well its really about closeness. We can talk about the Inquisitions and such, which were more horrifying than anything committed that day in september, because we are not very emotionally connected to it. We dont know wifes who lost their husbands to the inquisitions and such. This is why the Holocaust used to be extremely sensitive, almost taboo, but has becoming increasingly comfortable discussing in society. September 11, being relatively fresh, it is no surprise that there are some who are still too emotionally scarred to confront such things so directly. For those who can however, this is a great project.

Well said.
I try not to be one of those people that says "it's too soon". Yet it's how recent it was that most effects us all.
