Thank you for your post Fudd, your comments on 93 were spot on and gut-wrenching says it all.
I too was on the edge of my seat, though watching live that morning and knowing what took place you still watch
as if to make sure this really happened.
It is so out of our mind set and character to dream of such a thing.
That is the bottom line. Watching in hindsight, it's tempting to say "why weren't the fighter jets moving sooner" or some such, but I don't think the answer is incompetence, it's because Americans do NOT imagine such inhumanity before we're exposed to it, and even after (which could be why some seem to have "forgotten" 9/11).
Anyway, thanks... I had promised another FReeper a review but I didn't really want know what to say; however once I started typing, it flowed.
