This is how information is presented in a free enterprise system. I guess we could have publicly funded news with free distribution, but do you think the World really needs to hear NPR's take on 9/11?
People are going to talk about that big hole in Downtown Manhattan, and what it means and what went on. This is only natural. Moore's film came out three years ago, to great critical acclaim, and people are complaining about an accurate portrayal now? You get the feeling that only anti-American sentiments are permissable with respect to 9/11.
If you ask me, folks on the left are just upset that this movie will establish the truth of what happened in people's minds before Oliver Stone can come out with his hatchet job next year.
First of all, there are two different movies you are merging into one discussion.
Second of all, you have twisted various statements and added your own commentary to them.
You seem to be happy posting to yourself since you made your own conversation.

I think you nailed it.
Look, my father (a Holocaust survivor) went to see Schindler's List in the theater and had to walk out in the middle. It was still "too soon" after 50 years, and it may always be "too soon" for those personally involved. That is understandable.
If this film is correctly handled, it will show how these brave Americans (and others) saved the lives of MANY PEOPLE who don't even realize it.
The heroes of Flight 93 may have saved the lives of people in the White House or Capitol, though they would probably have evacuated in time. Still, the buildings were spared a ghastly symbolic destruction.
They undoubtedly saved the lives of people in their homes, at work, or on highways anywhere in the plane's path toward DC. These innocents do not to this day realize the danger they were in if those brave souls on Flight 93 didn't actively plan for unpopulated land below them before taking back the cockpit.
By their example, they saved the lives of everyone on the plane with Richard Reid.
The heroism shown on Flight 93 has effectively prevented such a takeover from ever happening again, and the terrorists know it.
