Maybe not dispicable but significant, is the image of the people jumping from the windows 100 stories up, then the lone shoe sitting in the rubble. Imagining the horror of a moment where a human chooses one horrific death over another. Perhaps one of the same people who took a moment to call home and leave an I love you message on an answering machine.
I agree with those of you who challenge the effectiveness of the media's playing those few clips of celebration. Those people can not be the majority. The press is doing an great job with coverage but it seems as though they don't recognize their power in determining the mood and beliefs our our nation when they deliberately try to insitgate feelings of anger and desire for revenge towards entire nations. We don't need blanket anger towards nations. We need patience until we find out which small group of individuals are responsible for this.
The children dancing in that news clip do not understand the scope of this act any more than we did at their age. It might as well be a sporting event to them. They are probably being told that it represents freedom and an end to their poverty or whatever suffering is in their lives. I can't even muster anger towards them, only pity.
