    It is somewhat interesting that 9/11 happened so soon after GWB took office. In retrospect, we can entertain this thought: Dick Chaney and his clan entrapped some nutty persons to commit this act in order to quickly implement the Neocon Plan. File it a False Flag???

    I remember driving to work on the morning of 9/11/2001. At the time I played music CDs in my car rarely listening to the radio. I was about 0.5 miles from my exit and a Honda Civic about 200 feet ahead of swerved off the road into the grass. I thought to myself "What a crazy person". (I didn't have the radio on.) As I walked into my place of work from the parking lot I noticed a bunch of employees were in the glass enclosed conference room with the TV on. As I walked in someone said "Another jetliner just flew into the other World Trade Center building" as I turned my head to the CNN TV Broadcast to see the buildings in flames with the gaping holes. A short time later I said "I don't think the buildings will collapse" and went to my desk...

    Hey, if I'm standing in the front yard with binoculars at night, I figure that my neighbors deserve an explanation.

    I ended up joining that Astro group that my neighbor spoke about, It was a great father/son thing to do with my kid. I eventually did a monthly nighttime lecture there on binoculars and star gazing. Telescopes are a real pain in the ass: a very fussy piece of equipment. Binoculars on the other hand are as simple as point and view. Much, much cheaper too.

    One of the things they do is have you look at x-rays for specific items (weapons)

    One thing they had you look for....

    wait for it....

    wait for it....

    Whisk

    When was the last time a plane was hijacked using a whisk?

    My wife and I took the kids to DC to see the Smithsonian 2 weeks before 9/11. I had deliberately gone down the Parkway so they could see the skyline, including the twin towers. Until recently nothing there but a gap in the skyline. That brought it home for them.

    9/11 by itself would not have been enough to rouse the US even without the government tamping things down. Inertia is too powerful, would have needed at least 3 major terror attacks to get the country moving as one.

    I just came back on, so I don't know who is the lady talking right now, but she has a very nice voice, as does her husband!

    Ask me sometime about how they tested you for the TSA in the beginning.

    I agree, and that's what the vets said. It was interesting to ask someone who had lived through both events.

    They did realize how bad Carter was in time to deny him re-election

    Pearl Harbor was military on military. Acceptable under "rules of warfare"
    9/11 was terrorism against civilians. Unacceptable at any time.

    It was a surreal day as I continued to treat patients as we all listened to the radio and wondered what was next. I had 3 WWII vets that day. I asked them what was worse: Pearl Harbor or 9/11? They all said 9/11.
