Towers

I just watched a show on The History Channel called The Miracle of Stairwell B (or something like that), about 14 people who survived the collapse of the north tower of the World Trade Center. They were on the second and third floors of this stairwell when the tower came down, yet managed to survive without an major injuries.
It was a moving show, and I suppose there'll be more of them as we approach the fifth anniversary of 9/11.
I turned on the TV just a few minutes before the second plane hit, and I was glued to the TV for the next hours, staring in disbelief.
...
I'm going to hack away from the computer so that I don't start a politics rant.
...
Five years down the road and the dude that did this, Osama Bin Laden, is still roaming about the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan, plotting the next thing he wants to blow up. How is that still bloody possible???!!! We could have gotten him.
We are now instead stuck in a nascent civil war in Iraq with no easy way out. It has been one abject failure after abject failure on the part of this administration. We could have gotten Osama, yet we chose to divert our attention to Iraq, for reasons I don't understand. (All the multitude of reasons the administration gave have been proven bullshit, and no one has been held accountable.)
I'm disgusted and disappointed, and the next few weeks, with all the 5-year anniversary remembrances, will be a depressing reminder of that horrible day, but it will also be a reminder of where we are now and how this administration has completely fucked up.
Ug.
This wasn't even a rant. I'm happy I backed away.
