'Still don't get it' "As moviegoers began to see trailers for the new movie 'United 93' in theaters a few weeks ago, audience members cried 'too soon' — some of them literally crying, as if victimized by a mere movie trailer. Why? Because nearly five years later they still don't get it. We still don't get it. "Americans who are 'shocked' by moviemakers dramatizing the heroism of passengers on the airplane that went down in Shanksville, Pa., on the morning of September 11, 2001, are as asleep as legislators who aren't serious about protecting our borders, diplomats who want to make nice with the terrorists who run Iran and oppress its people, and those who would have left Saddam Hussein in power. We're a nation that should be shocked when reporters reveal classified national-security strategy, but award them Pulitzers instead of condemning their irresponsibility. "We can delude ourselves that we aren't at war, that nothing changed on September 11, and we're not as vulnerable as innocent Israelis who know that every bus they get on or pizza place they grab a slice at could be a suicide bomber's next target. " 'United 93' and efforts like it remind us of what happened that day, of the kind of people we are, and of the war we're in." — Kathryn Jean Lopez, writing on "Too Soon?"
