So another 911 anniversary has come and gone with the mass-murdering criminals who masterminded the attack all in fine fettle, enjoying their comfortable retirements, sipping fine wines as they watch the sun go down. Yes, post-911 life has been good. Larry Silverstein reflects on his uncanny good fortune in having insured the buildings against terrorist attack mere weeks before 911. Double good fortune actually as that was the one day he didn't have breakfast at the top of the WTC's North Tower due to a prior medical appointment. And while Don Rumsfeld must be enjoying his vast financial fortune the joy must be tempered by regret that his diligent investigation into the missing $30 trillion (yes - trillion) from the Department of "Defense" was scuppered by the rocket attack on the Pentagon. Dov Zakheim's pride in his multiple awards for public service must also be tempered by the knowledge that had his aircraft remote control system been installed on the hijacked planes he could have diverted them to safety. That must be killing him. Meanwhile Dick Cheney is having a whale of a time pumping the Wyoming wildlife - and his shooting companions - full of lead as his electric heart still keeps ticking twenty years on.
Did someone mention karma?
