In all honesty, dear PPruNe members, I don't think this is a time for some American-bashing that I've noticed. In this instance, I take it as a personal offence.
A terrible tragedy has happened -- four airliners have crashed within minutes -- the pilots, the crew and the passengers are all dead. May they rest in peace. But, thanks to whom?
By the way, commercial airline pilot Tim Timmerman, looking out his Arlington, VA, apartment definitely saw an AA or UA B757 crashing into the Pentagon.
To an unworldly bunch of idiots who think that they will eventually rule the world with their pre-fundamentalist thinking in a country called Afghanistan and call themselves Taliban.
If I were Bush, I'd have the F-18s and others ready tonight to wipe Afghanistan off the earth by tomorrow morning. Remember Reagan when when Libya's Quadfi gave him problems. Bomb the sh*t out of him.
