In contrast, the hijackers chose not to take the top off the World Trade Center, but to incinerate the entire building — proof that they wished not to send us a message but to kill us all, and to kill us to the applause of millions, if the recent popularity of Osama bin Laden and his henchmen in the Arab street is any indication. I have to issue a slight correction re Eminem. The generic nature of the rapper's comments have been pointed out to me.
"We've got a choice: Do we want flush toilets, or do we want to crap behind a rock?"
"The Dixie Chicks, Eminem Barbra Streisand and their like, apparently enjoy the prospect of using the nearest handy rock."
Excellent edit, my friend.
