'Propped up for pursuasive purposes'. What a charming phrase. You really have a way with words.
No, those who jumped are part of the horror story that was The World Trade Center on the morning of September 11th. The media sanitized that aspect of the tragedy so as not to infame the public any more than we already have been. Well, some of us, anyway.
Now, Afghan civilian casualities are being trumpeted and shoved in our faces by the Taliban and their eager liberal media shills here in the United States. A reminder of how some of our people died that morning in New York would be useful as a counter-measure against the medias ultra-short memory and concern over our enemies well-being.
Sometimes just saying 'They died' isn't enough. We need to remind the media and liberals in general that human beings had to jump to their deaths that morning because of the actions of some Arab manaics with a perverted view of America and a twisted idea of their religion and now we're supposed to get all mushy over some possible Afghan civilians who may have been killed or wounded by our bombs? I think not.

PS: Did I mention that you said it SO much better than I could?
