I think the important thing is to realize that all sorts of disinformation is going to be spread. For instance, I think it was Iran that was saying that this tragedy had the markings of a Zionist attack, meaning that the likely suspect was Israel. I mean come on. All you have to do is use your common sense to figure out the truth. Many Palestinians hate us with the kind of hatred that is born of many years of us throwing our weight around in the Middle East in our efforts to stabilize the area and aid our friends, the Israelis. In addition, their hatred of us comes from their jealousy that our culture and way of life is so successful and has made so many people happy, while they live in daily terror and poverty.

I don't know whether that film was from 1991 or not, but I do know that Saddam, the Taliban, and many other radical fundamentalist Islamic people have said that the U.S. reaped what it sowed. They could barely hide their glee that we are hurting. Our sentiment may be manipulated a little. Sure, I'll give you that. I'm sure all of us grieve when we hear about that guy who had a 12 week old daughter and called his wife from the plane, then decided with the other passengers to rush the hijackers rather than risk more disasterous objectives being hit.

So CNN doesn't have to show old films. All they have to do is show the truth. The truth is horrific enough.
