#1 You knew this was inevitable.

No sweat - they will reap a whirlwind that pales the WTC murders by many factors. I pity the average French citizen, no really, I do. Most people are simplisme - and being led by the nose by their "chosen" thought leaders - to use the fuzzy-wuzzy modern double-speak term. What a bullshit-shattering wake-up call awaits various populations living in self-satisfied little bubbles, as we were prior to 9/11, and the Turks were until last month. Sooner or later, each society will begin receiving it's "fair" share - and bubbles will be bursting everywhere... sort of like a Lawrence Welk show of Rogers & Astaire waltzing through murder, mayhem, and grief. (Is that an ugly image, or what?!)

Phrawnce, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chirac & De Villepin, Asshats Inc., will return to being France, regular "WTF Hit Us?" people soon enough. Then we shall see examples from our betters regards how we should think and react, etc. I do not look forward to it, however... it's just as obvious as a trout in the milk that it's coming. (Apologies to Hank)

#2 Pitcher said he and his colleagues "wanted to show there isnât any way to win against terrorism. Because it doesnât matter how many planes you shoot. There are always new planes."

Conversely, it doesn't matter how many skyscrapers the terrorists bring down - we can always take out another Muslim state sponsor.

#3 Pitcher said he and his colleagues "wanted to show there isnât any way to win against terrorism. Because it doesnât matter how many planes you shoot. There are always new planes."

In reality, planes don't just appear out of nowhere to fly themselves into buildings at an ever-increasing pace, so it doesn't make sense to try making a point by crafting a video game, as the video game environment is too easily manipulated and doesn't take many other factors into account.
