Senator Kerry, after 9/11 -- and this is a new question for you -- it seemed to me that the country came together as I've never seen it come together since World War II. But some of that seems to have melted away. I think it's fair to say we've become pretty polarized, perhaps because of the political season.
The country is better than it was before 9/11.
It says some of it has melted away but doesn't specify if it's better or not.
