Ok, how about the fact that is was the two towers that was hit in the first place. All in all, they were just buildings in the middle of a lot of other buildings. Osama straight up hates america and what it stands for. What's the next thing you think of after I say "american icon" and "new york." Yes, that's right, the statue of liberty.
True, what happened then was horrible, but how horrible would it have been if those two planes ended up bringing down the statue of liberty. A seriously important, irreplacable icon of american freedom. Not to mention that it would've been much easier to direct the plane into the target. Also, imagine the finacial loss that the american gov't would go through if they lost the #1 NY tourism spot.
Plus, they're all making osama out to be this insanely militant and stategic guy that is trying to fight a war in the name of god. If he was all of these things, the twin towers would have been the last place he would've attacked. Obviously, I feelt the statue would have been one essential target. The other would have without a doubt been the golden gate bridge. Osama wants to spread fear, hit on both coasts, take out the two biggest US toruism spots, hurt the us economy? If the statue of liberty and the golden gate bridge would have been destroyed, the US would have been in complete shambles. The golden gate bridge is as important historically as it is to dick and jane riding across the bridge to go to work. Rebuilding the bridge would have been a neccisity, costing billions and taking months if not years to develop and build.
Oh, and then there's the attack on the pentagon. What the hell was that all about? The pentagon has no real meaning whatso ever except in the eyes of the US public who see it as a big part of the military. Nothing, lost in the attack, even if the pentagon would have burned to the ground, would've taken more than a day to replace except for the finacial loss.
I'm sorry, I'm just now remembering that not everyone thinks as tactically as I do.
