I just got back from United 93. I cried the whole drive back from the theatre, and solid through the last twenty or thirty minutes of the movie. The movie's dull, almost boring at first. You think, "I paid six and a half dollars to watch people wait to board a plane?" Then things happen. It certainly didn't feel all Hollywood dressed up, nothing over the top. The terror, the heroism, it was intense and felt so real. I still can't stop crying. There's nothing I can say about it that hasn't been said already a hundred times and a hundred times better. So all I'll say now is, go see the movie. If you're American, and, let's face it, odds are good that you are, you should see it. See what heroes are like -- ordinary people, who unbuckle their seatbelts, and stand up.

  The discussions pertaining to this event and the related events and ideologies are often hotly contested, and frequently highly interesting. Still, I find it distressing how easily they can be sidetracked into blind and fruitless avenues when clarity of purpose and vision is so vitally needed.
