Newsreel footage of EVERYONE in D.C. scattering in all directions has just
been shown on Channel 4 news (U.K.) ; it looked like a badly made disaster
movie. A police officer shouted "GET OUT, NOW !" to the floor of the House.
Unseemly and totally lacking in composure or dignity.

If this is what an off-track Cessna can do the the worlds most
technologically powerful and sophisticated nation, I have to ask "Have the
terrorists already won ?".

In light of the British people continuing to man their shops and posts
during the nightly bomb raids by the Nazis during the Battle of
Britain, these pusillanimous Americans scattering in panic must appear
particularly pathetic.
