Had the Capitol been destroyed on 9/11, IMO there would have been nuclear war that day...

Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of the saber rattlers in the GWB regime would not have been able to resist the urge for instantaneous massive retaliation against the Muslim world.
They would have called Russia and China on the hot line and said, "here's what we're going to do."

I still wonder what went through the minds of the heroes on Flught 93. - By Alpo September 11, 2026 at 10:21:52 PM
- After that happened I predicted we would never see terrorists take over an airliner like they did. Passengers won’t just sit and take it. Kudos to these heroes. * - By jhamm September 12, 2026 at 11:19:42 AM
- 100%. I felt like an old man telling my daughter this story today, about how heroic those people were.* - By DetUMICH September 12, 2026 at 03:07:02 AM
- If you go to the Flight 93 memorial in Pa. you can get a pretty good sense of what they were thinking by listening to the recodings of their phone calls - By UMdad September 12, 2026 at 12:28:09 AM
  - yeah I think they clearly understood the stakes and that their only hope of survival was to retake control of the plane - By DoctorD September 12, 2026 at 08:03:28 AM

- Acknowledging the Flight 93 heroes forces us to consider what we would each do in their place. Too many of us would fall short, so it's easier to say "oh, and them" than to confront our own instincts and discover cowardice. They deserve much more recognition than they get for many more reasons.* - By SmilingChewbacca September 11, 2026 at 10:51:35 PM
