United 93, the Cure for Pussyfooting: Not a Michael Moore-George Clooney Production

The Neocon Op-ed of the day comes from David Beamer writing in the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Beamer is the father of Todd Beamer who was on United Flight 93 on September 11th 2001. Todd Beamer is famous for the words “lets roll” as he and fellow passengers moved against the terrorist highjackers hell-bent on crashing the plane into White House or Capital Building in Washington DC. The Passengers learned of the basic intentions of the hijackers from phone conversations with relatives who told them of the planes that had already crashed into the World Trade Center in New York. They understood that they faced death & decided to fight back.

Since 9/11 and the tragic loss of his son, Mr. Beamer has clearly made an effort to study, research and understand the nature of the enemy that took the life of his son. His Op-ed in today's WSJ demonstrates that understanding:

"This enemy is on a fanatical mission to take away our lives and liberty...This enemy seeks to take away the free will that our Creator has endowed in us. Patrick Henry got it right some 231 years ago. Living without liberty is not living at all... This film further reminds us of the nature of the enemy we face. An enemy who will stop at nothing to achieve world domination and force a life devoid of freedom upon all. Their methods are inhumane and their targets are the innocent and unsuspecting...we are at war with a real enemy and it is personal. There are those who would hope to escape the pain of war. Can't we just live and let live and pretend every thing is OK? Let's discuss, negotiate, reason together. The film accurately shows an enemy who will stop at nothing in a quest for control. This enemy does not seek our resources, our land or our materials, but rather to alter our very way of life."

The Neocon is scheduled to fly to the Middle East on business in the coming days, but I will make a point of seeing ‘United 93’ and posting my review of the film before my trip.
