I saw a couple of hours of it last night. Back when it was being built, the steelworkers ran, I mean RAN toward a bunch of anti's protesting the war in Vietnam and beat them silly. I was actually feeling proud seeing archival film of a bunch of hardhats mixing it up with these losers, and obviously winning. Then, they showed the footage of the planes hitting and people falling and the towers collapsing. Now I'm mad again. It's a good and sustained mad. I'm also quite satisfied that we "lit up their world like the 4th of July" in response to the attack. Based solely on that, it was worth seeing.

Since you mentioned the workers, it should also be noted that on the WTC, like other structures of its type, was built with labor from the Mohawk Indians from upstate New York, who have traditionally done the high beam work in this city. These guys used to come in during the week to work and then drive 12 hours back to the reservation every weekend.

Yes, that seeing the workers trounce the anti-war protesteres was the best moment of the film for me, too. And we did light up the Taliban's world. Then we lit up Saddam's world just in case. But I wish we had kept going. East, west, Syria, Iran, Pakistan. I keep wondering if it's time to go nuclear on their strongholds of hate and nuclear R&D. Today, I'm not nearly satisfied in my craving for revenge, maybe I never can be. People who can do what they did on 9/11 makes me want to chase them down to the ends of the earth. We're just getting started, as far as I'm concerned.
