When previews for "United 93" were shown in New York City moviehouses, the crowd whined, "Too soon!"
But "United 93" is not arriving in theaters too soon. If anything, it is arriving too late.
It has been almost five years since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and most Americans have fallen back to sleep. They've forgotten who our enemy is: extremist Islam. They've forgotten why the Patriot Act was enacted. They've forgotten why it was necessary to listen in on phone calls of Muslims in America to their friends overseas. They've forgotten why it is necessary that many Islamic charities allegedly funding hospitals and orphanages must be shut down (because as on 9/11, they fund acts and groups that continue to put people in hospitals and orphanages).
That's why "United 93" should be required movie viewing for all Americans who love freedom . . . while we still have it. This movie is the wake-up call that needs to be visited upon anyone who questions why our government responded the way it did when nearly 3,000 innocent Americans were murdered by Islamic terrorists.
And while all Americans should see this film, there are special groups who need to see it more than others:
* Assorted ACLU-style lawyers and activists: They need to suffer through this movie and see whose memories they are blaspheming with their endless lawsuits on behalf of the compatriots of their murderers.
* The giant pinata of kowtowing federal "law enforcement" bureaucrats, like FBI Director Robert Mueller, Homeland Security lawyer and Islamist outreach figure Daniel Sutherland, and various local fed sachems like U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III, Michigan FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel Roberts, and his ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) counterpart, Brian Moskowitz. All of these individuals have, instead, repeatedly broken bread with, kowtowed to, and even given awards to Sunni and Shia Islamists who openly support and even fund terrorism.
* Most Hollywood directors and writers, who could learn a thing or two from this movie's director/writer Paul Greengrass, who did not make editorial comment. He stuck strictly the 9/11 commission reports and recounting of relatives and ground crews.
Perhaps that is why the hijab-wearing woman I saw and her Muslim male companion walked out of the film with big frowns on their faces. This movie is not PC. It sticks to the story as it happened.
And the identity and motivations of the hijackers are quite clear, from their red headbands and takfiri body-hair removal to their repeated incantations of "Allah Hu Akbar" (Allah is the greatest) and "B'ismullah" (in the name of Allah).
In many ways, what happened on United Flight 93 is a microcosmic view of the war we are fighting against Islamic terrorism all over the world, but especially on our own soil.
The passengers on the flight knew that if they did not fight the Islamic terrorists on board, they would probably meet their deaths. They spoke with family and friends on the ground who were watching live TV coverage of the events that had already occurred that morning. They knew that two planes already flew into the World Trade Center and that there was an explosion near the Pentagon.
They realized that their Islamic hijackers were on a suicide mission. And they decided to pursue an effort in the remote chance that they might save themselves, but knowing they would likely go down fighting, as they did.
Even though it is only the fourth month of the year, I'm confident in proclaiming "United 93" the Movie of the Year. It's doubtful Hollywood will produce such an important and provocative film in the remaining eight months.
While the United 93 passengers had barely a minute of warning, perhaps less than an hour, we have had plenty of warning in America. It was not just the 9/11 attacks and the foiled shoe-bomber attempt in 2001, and other escapades since. Before that, we had the attack on the U.S.S. Cole in 2000, the blowing up of two U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998, the 1996 Khobar Towers attacks, "Black Hawk Down" in Somalia, and so on. Before that, Hezbollah--a group which works with Al-Qaeda training its insurgents and which took part in the Khobar Towers attack--hijacked TWA Flight 847, torturing to death Navy diver Robert Stethem, and murdered 300 U.S. military and civilian personnel in Lebanon.
Yes, we have had the warnings. Plenty of them. And unlike in Hollywood, in real life Jack Bauer does not usually save the day.
The question is: Will we take heed of them like the passengers on United 93 and go down fighting? Or will we "see no evil" and silently, willingly submit to the will of the Islamists who repeatedly tell us of their mission . . . until the West is dead?
So far, the answer is latter, and that is why "United 93" is a necessary and vital film. And it is also well done.

my daughter and i plan to see it next week...with a box of kleenex.
God willing, all the airheads in the Congress will go see it as well!
Too Soon... to forget.
Let them eat tagline.
Excellent post-the Hollyweirdos will be squirming, this film does not fit their agenda at all!
Watch this first, then go see the movie.
Are you telling all of us that the Hollywood commies didn't slant drill this movie or take creative license to revise history? Forgive me for being suspicious.
I would put 10 stars next the Debbie Schlussel. LOL!

NEVER FORGET

Just remember it is Bill and Hilllary Clinton and their vermin Democrat friends that caused the deaths of these American heroes and all innocent Americans since the first bombing of the WTC in 1993. I hope the picture garners a very large audience, even though it may too upsetting and emotional for some Americans. It presents a true picture of what the Democrat Party has brought forth to our great country.
Prediction: 0 Academy Award nominations for United 93. Hollywood does its bit for dhimmitude.
You can't help but agree with a male passenger's shout of "You bastard!" as he joined the other men on the plane in stabbing one of their hijackers with forks and knives.
Chilling. I could only hope to muster such courage and resolve in a situation like that. I'll definitely see the movie.

This is nice, but I still think that Susan Saradon will get best Actress for "Cindy Sheehan: the Musical".
BUMP for never forget!
Obviously he felt assured mutual distruction would apply to them.
And they'll continue attacking us. As long as it's not with a WMD, they'll never go away.
Reading this, we're reminded that something evil this way comes.
This is funny. And I am sure Susan would jump at the chance to play Cindy Sheehan and consider it an honor.
In this case, several real life Jack Bauers saved the day, Debbie.
Chilling. I could only hope to muster such courage and resolve in a situation like that. I'll definitely see the movie.
Don't hope on it, count on it.
