The Hollywood morons fly more than most of us. They are looking the death cult in the face.
They'll fight it like they always do. On TV. In a half hour they'll convince the bad guys that there is a better way and convince them through dialogue and love that it wasn't their fault. It was the fault of the Christians and Conservatives. And the war on terror will come to and end. And there will be inspiring music, rainbows, bunnies, and happy faces all around.
They wanted to kill us before Bush, Afghanistan or Iraq. And they still want to kill us.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool, and Hollywood is filled with them.
Give it some time, they'll be preaching to us plebes that we should be more tolerant and understanding and a lot less closed-minded of the plight these Muslims go through, and that all of this could have been averted if Bush & Company hadn't taken us to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. I predict the first one to open their yap will be Sean Penn, or perhaps Martin Sheen.
Give it a little time. As soon as they feel sure their personal safety isn't threatened, they'll start up again.
Where is the example where terrorism is successfully overcome by talking? Where is it, Ms. Sarandon?
But am I the only one who beleives they weren't going to blow themselves up over the ocean, but wait until they were at the gate or just on approach?
It's not like the media would swarm these celebs as they do a high government official within 24 hours to get their opinions and statements.
Give Mss. Streisand, Saradon & friends another 48 hours and the tabloids and blogs will be chuck full of their crappy views.
They will blame the war in iraq and other so-called 'failed' policies for this latest attempt by the British Pakistani muslims to blow up airliners.
Viacom ( think CBS) will be planting stories that will purport the well timed plot was launched to discredit their revisionist film The World Trade Center.
Like the question one of the Freepers posed to the international desk at NYT "You guys bummed out that you didn't get the information soon enough to print on the front page so as to warn the terrorists something was afoot?" The person who answered the phone responded: "What kind of question is that?" and hung up.
Bwahhahhahhahhahhah NYT reporter hangs up
Its never about the terrorism.
My recollection of the news of 9/11 goes a little like this: I was awakened (In Savannah) by my wife who had been chatting on line with my brother (in Brussels). She was alerted to turn on the news as he saw it come across CNN. I watched the first couple of hours groggily - but remember distinctly a disproportionate amount of attention being given by Barbara Walters on ABC to a particular television industry executive who had been lost on one of the planes that struck the WTC. Granted he was someone she knew - but at that point it was not yet clear that there were not 20,000+ casualties at the WTC site. There is an incredibly unconscious sense of value that celebrities place on other celebrities - to the degree that the other citizens (fly over country, etc.) don't matter. It comes to light in the most grotesque manner (a la Baba Wawa) and it's absolutely sickening.
[to be blown up in midair ]
I keep hearing that statement, as if over the ocean, but wouldn't they create a more devastating results if they detonated the devices just before landing?
Liberal viewpoint: "Terrorism cannot be fought with violence, President Bush, but don't you dare try to fight it by invading our privacy by tapping phone lines or reading our private e-mails. We will trash you for taking away our rights if you try to fight terrorism with intelligence."
The terrorists are all about killing us. We're supposed to offer them flowers? Money? Candy? What kind of negotiations do these moonbats think the terrorists would accept? Weapons? Probably....then they would use our weapons to kill us. There is no other solution. It is a idealistic war. They hate us because we don't believe what they believe. Negotiations won't change that. Only if the U.S. was completely converted to Islam (which is their goal, I believe) will they stop killing us. Perhaps Ms. Sarandon would like to convert to Islam, to appease the terrorists.
Interesting that this huge attack was thwarted using wire taps and e-mail circumvention. Let's not forget that.
