Civic Duty: Go See 'United 93'

by George Will

Jewish World Review
May 8, 2006 / 10 Iyar 5766

 

.... Going to see "United 93" is a civic duty because Samuel Johnson was right: People more often need to be reminded than informed. After an astonishing 56 months without a second terrorist attack, this nation perhaps has become dangerously immune to astonishment....

The message of the movie is: We are all potential soldiers. And we all may be, at any moment, at the war's front, because in this war the front can be anywhere.


The hinge on which the movie turns are 13 words that a passenger speaks, without histrionics, as he and others prepare to rush the cockpit, shortly before the plane plunges into a Pennsylvania field. The words are: "No one is going to help us. We've got to do it ourselves." Those words not only summarize this nation's situation in today's war but also express a citizen's general responsibilities in a free society.

Another true 9/11 American lifesaver Hero:


The Man Who Predicted 9/11: RICK RESCORLA, ..R.I.P.

http://www.RickRescorla.com
(See: 'The Statue' Pictures)

http://www.armchairgeneral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24361
(How 'The Statue' got there at Ft. Benning GA. It's in the Eyes...)

...Before his 9/11 Lifesaving demise at Tower II on that Day of Infamy,

...RICK RESCORLA co-wrote a Movie screenplay, with Screenwriter JIM MORRIS, about America's No.1 World War II Infantry hero AUDIE MURPHY.

...Two heroic stories ripe for the retelling on the Silver Screen, perhaps, a la "United 93"..?

I might have to get some of the guys at work and go see it.

"No one is going to help us. We've got to do it ourselves." Go see it alone if you have to...
