>>   Thanks for your valuable information on Sept. 11th.
>>   My niece was on a flight to KCMO recently. There was a conversation
>>between two people which went like this: "The events of Sept. 11th give the
>>USA an opportunity to reflect on the violence it brought to other nations in
>>the past." Another passenger overheard the critical thinking between the two
>>passengers.  This patriotic passenger did not like that message and went to
>>the stewardess with a complaint. The stewardess then went up to the cockpit
>>and conveyed the questioning attitude of the two passengers to the captain. He
>>(she?) in turn radioed ahead to the KCMO airport. Upon landing, the plane
>>was surrounded by a SWAT team and a 45-minute investigation ensued.
>>   We must be on guard that the super-patriots do not lash out against us.
>>   A tour of the museum in Hiroshima took me two hours in '82 and I often
>>reflect upon a comparison between the two incinerations of people.
