Control Room!

This stupid movie is bullshit! We went into Iraq with hopes to find the man behind September 11, so when we were sure he wasn’t coming out of the town we bombed it! Ok they are giving us hell for us bombing them, showing the nation pictures of all the dead people from the towns that are under turmoil... Ok how about we show them the pictures and footage from what they did to us. We didn’t make a deal out of it, no so while they slept sound in their beds that horrible morning, we were in a state of shock! Not only did they demolish the World Trade Center(WTC) , but they took two of our own planes to do it in! When we bombed them, by got we did it with our own planes, our bombs and our troops!! They didn’t have the balls to even do that!
Also it wasn’t just the Americans who went over there! They say that we have no god, and no humanity, yet what about theirs. IF they hadn’t started this shit in the first place we wouldn’t be over there finishing it! Don’t start something if you don’t want to finish it, or you don’t like what becomes from the results of your actions. You don’t like what happened to your country; well we didn’t like what you did you ours that beautiful September morning. Don’t mess with a powerhouse if you can’t compete!
I don’t agree with the way it was handled no, but how would you handle something like that, I mean what would you have done if you’ve got a nation behind you who wants revenge on the pain that they caused us! If you do nothing and try to handle it diplomatically you are a coward, while on the other hand if you “bring the rain” you are a tyrant! How can that be? Are we to just sit here and do nothing while those assholes get away with what they did; no that isn’t the American way… When you are young you are taught to stand up for yourself and what you believe in, so what are you going to do if someone comes out of nowhere knocks the crap out of you, are you going to stand there and let them get away with it, no they will do it again. So what do you do, you hit them back, you stand up for yourself and what you think and your person you are! Do you want to be known as a coward or a strong mental person who doesn’t let people walk all over them. We didn’t become number one just because when someone kicked us we stood there, no we kicked back harder than they did till we either as a nation or a single person were the last one standing, that is how it works, always has and always will!
This movie isn’t showing the entire story, it is making the American people out to be the bad person, yah ok I think enough is enough, and we get the picture, poor you. Well that’s just too bad, you don’t like being bombed, hey guess what we didn’t either. Another thing is that the news is the news, you can’t just pick and show what you want, you show everything, and even if it doesn’t show what you think is right. The American people have a right to know what is going on over there, I mean after all we are the ones paying for it, right? So wouldn’t you want to know everything that is going on, not just what the news teams want you to see, to make you think that the Iraqis are bad? I would, I would want to know exactly what my tax dollars are paying for, what my troops, who are not only just American soldiers, but our friends, brothers, husbands, fathers, uncles, grandpas, mothers, daughters, wives, sisters; people who we have known since grade school, or before! They are our family, and the American people!
I understand that you have pride in your own nation, one of which you love with your whole body, and you are going to stand up for what you think is right. You know they say what we did wasn’t right, we shouldn’t have gone into their nation to bomb them without them knowing, but if you remember right they did the same thing to us. They high jacked not one or two or three, no they took four of our commercial airline planes, flew them into our buildings; two went into the WTC, the first plane went into tour1 at 8:45am, it collapsed around 10:30a. The second plane crashed into tour2 around 9:03 and exploded, that tour collapsed around 10:05a. One crashed outside of Philadelphia, PA. that was flight 93, and the fourth went into the Pentagon building in Washington DC. Sorry if I’m not sorry for what we did, but what they did isn’t any worse then what we did only we used our own stuff. I can still remember the state of shock I was in when I was sitting in class and the principal can over the intercom asking all the teachers to turn their tv’s onto CNN News channel that the WTC had just been bombed. We hadn’t had our tv on but 2 minutes on when the second plane crashed into the second building, all I could do was sit there and think, and pray for all those poor peoples and their families. All the while hoping that the sick person behind all of this would someday get what they deserved…
