This is a nation of ideas and idea makers, of great thinkers and passionate doers. In the wake of the Sept. 11 bombings in New York and Washington, Americans will need their ideas -- more than their might -- to confront the scourge of terrorism worldwide and also the anger and frustration that has formed dark clouds over the country's collective psyche. We want to hear those ideas at The Sun. In cooperation with SunDial, our 24/7 news and information service, we've set up an idea hotline of sorts that readers can call to leave short messages about the ideas they have to help avert future tragedies.
