The hijackers were only able to take over the aircraft because of years of gov't disarming of American citizens and especially the disarming of the commercial pilots; therefore IF the flight was shot down on orders from Bush , Cheney, or whomever, the gov't IS directly responsible for ALL the deaths

I hold the gov't officials morally responsible for disarming of peaceable Americans and the deaths and injuries of those Americans.

An administration which continues to fight the natural rights of the citizens and PILOTS to arm and defend themselves is NOT truly Constitutional , nor conservative, nor freedom-loving. Nor will I honor any person who murders innocents using the justification that it was either "following orders" or "tactically necessary".

So WW1 and WW2 were ..............oh nevermind, you don't deserve a response.

I hope you don't overdose on your drugs. The DEA is just following orders and doing what's tactically necessary to save the citizens from being shot on the street for drug money. You, sir, are in the wrong country.

Let's see -- shoot down the pplane? Or let it continue on to DC and kill Lord knows how many....If it was shot down, then it was justified, period.

I'm tired of the Monday morning quarterbacking by the left and by handwringers who want to find a way to blame GW for 9/11.

He gets to make the difficult decisions. That's why he was elected. Get over it.

[Conservative til I die]

You're an ass. Say the President did give the orders to shoot the plane down. He killed 44 civilians. He lets the plane hit its target and we're talking about a 767 crashing in the streets of Washington DC, likely killing hundreds more innocent civilians and maybe taking out the Capitol Building. Which do you choose? It's obvious.

So the entire human race was defenseless prior to the invention of gun powder?
