... please.
Yes, I think Hollywood exploits certain events for its own financial interests, but judging from the reviews and personal accounts of "United 93," that does not seem to be the case here. This time, it seems, Hollywood actually might have got it right.
And the people who bitch about a movie being made about the plane that didn't end up crashing into anything that day really, really ought to consider how the two-word phrase "Nine-Eleven" has been whored out by just about every politician on both sides of the Mississippi. It's revolting enough to cause nausea among anybody with the slightest amount of common sense.
My long-standing argument has been that some people in this great country of ours believe that our own sensitivity trumps anybody else's sensibility. I'll repeat that until I die.
But nobody else in the world has an ounce of sensitivity for us anymore—nor should they.
We suffered a massive tragedy of unbelievable proportions and we—as a country, as a nation—squandered that political capital by invading a country completely unrelated to the incident.
If 9/11 means anything to the rest of the world anymore, I'd be fucking stunned.
And I sure hope that makes somebody as angry as it makes me.

Makes me angry. But my anger, apparently, pales in comparison to your anger, dear sire. My anger is a child asking for seconds of ravioli ala Olvier Twist. Your anger makes the Hulk look like a green steroid fueled pussy. Good form.
That's Oliver.
