Does anyone remember the plane that was hijacked by the terrorists, but crashed in Pa. before it got to it's target? It was speculated that it could have been headed to The Statue of Liberty or The White House. The people aboard were thought to have brought that plane down themselves........but there was also rumor of an F-16 in the vicinity and some had claimed it was shot down by land forces.

Of all the landmarks mentioned.....forgotten here is the cradle of liberty.....Philadelphia, Pa.

I'm inclined to think as jseal suggested.......that what terrorists might think of in their warped minds, as a place to attack and send us "the perfect message".....might not be the same as what we would say if we were asked to name the "heart" of our nation!

I for one, wouldn't name any particular tourist site as our "heart"....but instead I would say that the heart lies within each citizen and his/her contribution to making this such a great nation! How could a terrorist "strike" that? As I, and many others, have said before......it was sad to see the towers fall......but what truly hurt was to know of all the people who perished in the buildings and on the planes......and of all the families of those people who were left to carry on without them. In my opinion.......that's the point here. And the terrorists missed it and so have you ss!
