Actually I was refering to the idea that if the towers had gone down quicker, we stood to lose 50,000 souls. As bad as it was, we were indeed fortunate that it wasn't far worse.

I believe that 80,000 was the figure pegged for Jordan losses, if that had been successfully implemented.

These are certainly some very sick people.

Yeah, one would think that folks the ilk of Churchie would make the intellectual leap when they were presented with the patent evidence that the terrorists don't really have an agenda outside intoxicating thrill-murder....and that anyone's suffering will do it for 'em.

On the other hand, it's hard for good people to imagine such evil, as it's hard for them to imagine what compells a child-rapist.

Perhaps a mind immobilized by fear: no fight, no flight...only white noise between the ears.
