WELL, here it is, five years late, but here just the same: an apology from an Arab-American for 9/11. No, I didn’t help organize the killers or contribute in any way to their terrible cause. However, I was one of millions of Arab-Americans who did the unspeakable on 9/11: nothing.

Mr. Dabul’s op-ed is a ray of sunshine, a breath of fresh air. This is exactly the attitude that needs to be encouraged. It’s the attitude that will save civilization.
