Obviously, the effect of the poem is variable.

I can see how some who take an exceptionalist view of 'nine-eleven' 
(and that view, by the way, is not equivalent to mourning) might 
therefore also read the poem as blame.

The key is perhaps how one understands the 'you' implied in the 
rhetorical device of the poem.
