>>"Since you want to know what I did, it was load every weapon I had in the house, because we live close to a mosque, and heavily populated muslim neighborhood. If the attack had found it's way to that neighborhood, I would have killed as many of them as possible, before they got me."<< A little lacking in perspective there weren't you? ...I wouldn't be judging anyone else if I were you. You honestly thought you might be in the epicenter of the U.S. based attack????? Allrighty then.

JFS, Seven minutes?? Not only would 7 minutes not make an iota of difference, he was not immobilized. He finished, even if in short order, what he was there to do. So you think he should have gone to New York to see if a second plane hit. Now, that would have been really smart. By the time the first plane hit the WTC, there was nothing for anyone to do but start cleaning up the mess. The attackers were dead, they could not have been caught, and subsequently, punished. So why panic, and go into useless action? Just to satisfy people like you? Make a show for the public, like Kerry does? It was known, almost immediately, that islamic terrorists were at the controls of those planes. Where were you? Hiding under your coffee table?? When one part of a country is attacked, other parts have been attacked shortly after to catch the citizens by surprise. You, evidently, don't know anything about guerilla warfare. If a ground attack had happened, every American in the vicinity would have been needed to repel that attack. No, I didn't go screaming down the street like chicken little, but know enough to get prepared for anything that may have come along. It could have happened in your neighborhood, and where would you have been? Sitting on your butt, watching TV. Fat lot of good you could have done. That is why they are called "line officers". They take the job to be on the first line of attack, or offense, whichever the case may be. Have you ever been a line officer? have you ever been in combat? If you have, you should know better than to make such stupid statements. How could Bush have shown cowardice when he was over 2,000 miles away from the action? Making foolish statements is not the answer to any problems, past or future.
