Something that SHPunk said sicks with me and I wanted to echo his statement.
Let me first say, I am as American as apple pie, I love this country and of that I have no doubt.
Bill Maher was fired for saying that the hijackers were brave and he was booed and beer bottles were thrown at him, but as repugnant as the act was, and as horrible the thought may be, I have to admit, someone who is willing to unquestionably lay their life down in what they believe is the defense of their way of life...I call that person brave. I didn't say RIGHT. Just brave.
They had a mission they knew they would not be coming back from, but the did it either way because they believed in it.... I hate to admit it, but that is bravery.
Still doesn't make it right......but did I make my point?
On the 20th hijacker: I am not sure what we should do...is he a martyr dead? or a bargaining chip alive? Perhaps we ought to just leave it to his judge to decide.
