HOW WILL THEY REACT TO UNITED FLIGHT 93

The film is riveting. It is great movie-making. But how will audiences react?

It seems to me that they should say, and feel, "Why haven't we (the U.S. government) pursued single-mindedly the planners and supporters (since the actual perpetrators are dead) of this heinous act instead of diverting our national resources to a budget-busting, deficit-increasing, military-destructive attack on and occupation of an unrelated, non-threatening, threat-contained nation (Iraq)? I would think that audiences would exit the theaters in a rage against the Bush administration for squandering the opportunity of capturing Bin Laden and his cohorts in Afghanistan and allowing them to continue, and grow exponentially, their anti-American legions throughout the Middle East, and the world.

But so far, my canvass of those who have seen the film reveals that they come out of the theater as more pro-Bush and pro-Iraq war than they were before they saw the movie.

What are you hearing?
