<< Bush may have given the order, but I doubt most Americans would be so eager to have a plane full of Americans shot down as they are to shoot down a plane not full of Americans. Simple as that.
I'll admit that you hold a valid point, but regardless of what Bush says, people would not be so eager, especially if they found out that there was no evidence that the plane was going to be used as a missile. >>
Skoorb, I can understand what you are saying but there were no demands in WTC and no negotiating. If 30 minutes before the planes struck the 2 towers and the Pentagon the terrorits called for negotiation, do you really think Bush would have told them to go "Fvk yourselves"?
