Former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the man whose strong leadership during and after the 9/11 attacks led him to be dubbed “America’s Mayor,” takes to task current NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg for his decision to exclude clergy from an upcoming ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks:
“Hundreds and thousands of families turned to God more than they had in the past,” Giuliani said. “Whether people agree or disagree with religion, it did play a major role in the healing of the city.”
Giuliani, of course, is right — and Mayor Bloomberg, in his urge not to offend, probably ended up offending far more people than he would have if he had opted to include clergy in the observance. Time to revise your decision, Mayor Bloomberg?
