I don't argue that they didn't call it. However, think about the moral dilemma caused by the decision to shoot down an American airliner with American citizens. I'm glad I'll never have to make that decision. My first thoughts after witnessing the crashes were that somehow someone may have gotten in to the Air Traffic Control computer system and screwed it up somehow. We're not dealing with sane humans after what we witnessed. Others can try to justify the actions if they like, that's their right, but there is no justification for it. I told you before, I thought our last administration leaders should have been declared war criminals for their actions in Yugoslavia and Sudan. I only hope GWB does it right and finds the right targets, which I think they will.

As far as God causing the crash, no, I think that's a little much, but the immorality in our country is taking our minds off the things that really matter. Hopefully this will open the leaders eyes.knc

Come on flapjack, let's try to be together for a change. Your statement below reflects some pretty sloppy thinking, and looks more like an attack on America and our leaders at a time that we should all pull together. A couple of questions for you:

1) How can it be a FACT that we SEEMINGLY did a horrendous wrong as you suggest?

2) Do you REALLY think we CHOSE to ignore obvious warning signs?

3) Does that mean you think our government wanted this to happen? You must if you believe we CHOSE to ignore the warning signs.

"I'm more concerned with the fact that this country's intelligence community seemingly chose to ignore obvious warning signs because"

These types of comments are why a few of us on this thread have used the word traitor to describe some that post here. Your post makes it look like you believe our government wanted this to happen. That plays right into the hands of what the people who did this want us do. OBL says thank you to flapjack.
