I thought another target was London's financial district. Of course, it could've been both--hitting a symbol (for us, the Pentagon & possibly the White House/Congress) and a financial center (WTC).
I thought another target was London's financial district. Of course, it could've been both--hitting a symbol (for us, the Pentagon & possibly the White House/Congress) and a financial center (WTC). The problem is that it wouldn't have been as symbolic as hitting Big Ben. The idea would have been to hit a symbol of the country, so as to intimidate us. But my feeling is that we wouldn't be intimidated. We share a common heritage, and in that, I'd say we'd be as angry as you would be.
