We know that these acts must be answered but realize that it must be done for justice, not vengeance - or the cycles of retribution will hurt us even more. But I have to go beyond all this in my search for answers to this dastardly act of terrorism, because I am a religious fanatic too. The media says so, regularly. We are crazies. Ted Turner said so publicly.
Christians are arrogant religious zealots who have the audacity to say their beliefs alone are true.
The liberals accused Bush of that in his presidential campaign. If I am totally honest with myself, I must admit that I have never before seen a more poignant illustration of the power of total commitment. Their power over us was their willingness to die for what they believed in. As a pilot, I cannot believe that it was a mistake that all three planes banked just as they impaled themselves into the innards of those massive buildings. It was no mistake that they hijacked planes fueled for maximum range.
