GUEST: "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: "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." Followed with sarcasm and statement to the effect that GUEST is wrong.

GUEST: "So GaryT, I guess you would also think the families are wrong to ask the same questions I am, then?"

Then later: "I continue to mind-boggled that in the span of two hours, on the east coast of the US where our nation's capital is located, there was simply no military response."

Hmmm. First military planes were launched 20 minutes after hijacking was made known. That's somewhat short of two hours--AGAIN.

You see GUEST, it's not so much the asking of the questions, it's the ignoring of reasonable answers that brands you as an idiot, not to be taken at all seriously.
