It was the full-throated grief customarily heard in a hospital or funeral home

I suspect that this will be the reaction of most red blooded Americans.

NEVER FORGET

I used to think my dad was so weird how he'd choke up at patriotic 'things' and events when I was a kid.

I get it now!

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I felt the very same way.

"But the British-based Iraqi actor, Lewis Alsamari, who plays one of the hijackers, was unable to attend because he could not obtain a US visa."

All he had to do is go by way of the Rio Grande. He wouldn't have had a problem getting there.

Regarding the movie, too soon for me to see it. Maybe in 10 more years.

In a similar vein: I used to rant and rave every four years about how we were robbed in the '72 Olympics basketball finals against the USSR. One day, about three years ago I got a call from my son, who was on deployment at the time. He had just watched that game on "ESPN Classics" on board ship. He got angry after watching the game and he called me to tell me that now he understood why I was still got PO'd at the mention of the game. He and I both had a good laugh about it.

If you can, you should call him, I know he would appreciate it.

Yeah, mine too. What's wrong with our screens?
