Thought you might like this article located here: https://right-thoughts.us/index.php/weblog/comments/this_doesnt_make_any_sense/ This doesn’t make any sense (The following post was restored from Google’s cache after the great hard drive crash of August 2006) I’m trying to think of a way this guy could be more wrong about 9/11. Nonetheless, because “World Trade Center” tells a story of joyous survival rather than a story of death, it is a fundamental falsification of the meaning of 9/11 - even though the story it tells is true. Isn’t that the equivalent of “fake but accurate” only in reverse? It’s bullshit, plain and simple.  9/11 was as much about those who helped and survived as it was about the evil they were surviving.  Only a truly pessimistic jerk would try to take that away from people. The movie ends with Nicolas Cage speaking a narration about how on 9/11 we faced adversity but also came together as a people and did nice things for each other. That certainly did happen, and America’s emotional unity was something extraordinary to behold, but that is not what 9/11 was about - 9/11 was a day of barbaric mass murder, not a day of hope. Podhoretz is absolutely, 100% wrong.  Everyone in America should take a moment to tell him so.  jpodhoretz@gmail.com - He publishes it at the end of his column. Hat tip - Malkin, who gleefully tried to turn a simple story that Oliver Stone actually did a respectful 9/11 film into a “bash the left” attack piece.  That’s exactly the kind of unhinged behavior she’s supposed to be against.
