Its not the movie that gets me, or the fact that someone is making a movie about 9/11, but to me its ridiculous that public opinion will be dictated by THAT movie.
I still can't figure out why a tragedy would make a country patriotic. Don't you think we, as in everyone in North America, needs to reach a bit more to find out why we're patriotic for our country? And not always rely on the tragedies in life?
I think we need leaders that can be inspiring, not leaders that look for excuses when something goes wrong, or even want to play the blame game in every situation.
