Question

I want to throw this out there to see how DU feels about this subject, hopefully this thread will not get locked and thrown into one of the dungeons.

My question/thoughts have to do with the 9/11 movie due out on 08/09/2006.

I was commenting with co-worker how I thought it may be early/a little hard for people to stomach and what not, and then in the same breath I made an offhanded comment about how the people who did this(OBL) are still running free, meanwhile we have lost all of these lives and $$ on Iraq, also compounded by the fact N. Korea has the missile and all.

Well this was my co-worker's response, she said don't you think that maybe this movie will get people all fired up again about what happened on 9/11 and the fact that this may get people enraged that we STILL haven't got OBL in this "War on Terror"?

I thought that this was a point worth sharing with you all.

So do you think something like this movie especially given the timing before the fall elections could fly in the face of the Rethugs strategy of beating the "War on Terror" drums?

Could this get people so pissed about pretty much nothing getting done since 9/11 other than the wasted lives and $$ on Iraq?

Your thoughts positive or negative are always appreciated.

that are not from Iraq. Were never from Iraq. Had nothing to do with Iraq...

Now that would be a nice revelation....

From what I've heard about the United 93 movie, nothing is mentioned there and no one in the media commented how it's a reminder OBL hasn't been caught or killed.

This may not be any different.

that any American Citizen has to be fired up about bush's huge fuckup. No doubt the right wing talking points about the movie have already been written and will flood the airwaves at the appropriate time.

OBL doesn't get mentioned much anymore. If it is brought to people's attention that he is still footloose and fancy free after "smoke him out dead or alive," it may cause people to be angry that we have failed to reach that objective, and don't even seem to be trying.

Moscow had been targeted on 9/11, would Putin have hunted OBL down?

that this is the biggest travesty of men, money, machinery and military power
