They seem to conclude that stories about Arab-American celebrations in the US are largely false, but stories about Arabs celebrating in the Mid-East are certainly true.

I'm glad you raised this point, because you and 'nicks bad seed' are responsible for jogging an old man's memory. I am really embarrassed. My wife and I attended the Patriot's Day Rally in Washington this past April. The DC Chapter had set up a huge collage of posters along the sidewalk facing Constitution Avenue. These posters depicted photos of the WTC/Pentagon holocaust; the jets slamming into the buildings, my fellow Americans falling to a grisly death from 1000 feet in the air, and so forth. Over the course of the day, hundreds of Palestinian/Arab demonstrators (along with many others) stopped to have their photos taken next to these posters. Expressions of regret and sadness on their faces? Yeah, right. Arms around each other, big smiles on their faces, celebratory fists pumping in the air, chants of "Death to America!" and "Death to Israel!" filling the air. Some of the other comments I won't repeat. Now if they were STILL in a celebratory mood eight months after the event itself, I think it is safe to assume that these folks were positively GIDDY on September 11, 2001.

Thanks for the reminder. Do Palestinians/Arabs, and others celebrate what happened on September 11, 2001? You bet they do. I am an EYEWITNESS, my wife is an eyewitness, and members of the DC Chapter are eyewitnesses.

Despicable. I would have been unable to restrain myself.
