What took so long to make this needed film?

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2006)

There's no doubt that United 93 has hit a nerve  on the Left, that is.
There's been a lot of whining about the trailer of the new Universal film "United 93." One theater in Manhattan even pulled it because of complaints.
The phrase about this film that keeps popping up on liberal Web sites is "too soon." The strange thing is when the trailer aired at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the identical phrase was echoed.
After seeing the movie, I have quite a different take. What took so long? I am grateful to Paul Greengrass for using his hand-held camera to create this starkly real tribute. Re-enacted in the film is the remarkable bravery of the passengers aboard the Boeing 757, which was headed for San Francisco on September 11, 2001, only to crash in a Pennsylvania field as citizen soldiers stepped forward to thwart the fourth would-be missile attack in the 9/11 terror scheme.
