N.Z. Bear: the unexamined success of 9/11
The Bear seems to be the first person to have noticed this:After all the hearings that the commission has had on the failures of our government to prevent 9/11, or even to respond effectively while it was happening, shouldnât there be at least one hearing to discuss what went right on that day? Where is the session devoted to studying the actions of the passengers of Flight 93, and their success at foiling the terrorists they confronted? Is there nothing at all to be learned from their actions, and their sacrifice -- or is the comissison just more interested in finding fault than in actually recognizing success? Or is it a more basic blindness --- is the 9/11 commission, and our government in general, incapable of recognizing a defense against terrorism that merely consists of individual Americans willing to fight when it becomes necessary? That a defense that doesnât require a huge appropriation bill and a massive administrative army simply doesnât fit with the Washington mindset? Heâs right. Everyone involved in this inquiry seems to have forgotten the 93rd Volunteer Infantry. We shouldnât. Letâs roll! Posted by: Mike 2004-04-14 |
