Arrgh. Goofed up the html.

The point I raised was that there is a pretty big gap in time between the first hi-jacking and the last plane crash. About two hours.

I think you'll find it's not routine to just shoot down any plane that's been hijacked. Something about dozens of innocent lives on board.

After the first crash, it was reasonable to start thinking about forcible intervention. The time between the first crash and the last one was less than one hour.

Either you have remarkable and superlative insight and understanding about the situation while the rest of us are just a bunch of slow-witted dummies who are incapable of grasping what simply must be the truth, or....well, let's just say that sometimes, when everybody else says you're wrong, you are wrong.
