Getting say, 30 lunatics together might not be easy, but once you have them, this kind of thing wouldnt be too hard to plan.
US domestic flighst doesnt have that high security, and once you have a couple of knives aboard, not much is left but to crash the plane into your choice of building. Steering modern airplanes isnt that difficult, they wouldnt have needed the pilots for the last part, ie crashing into wtc.
And on the part of them having found arabian men in a van with a bomb and flightinstruction manuals just sounds like something from a bad actionmovie. It sounds like a bad framing of someone. Why in hell should they be driving around with flight instructions if they were to suicide bomb?
It just sounds too good to be true. The US had it coming, they have been acting like idiots in foreign affairs for a long time, there are many many groups around the world who dislike us fascist methods in other countries.
IF palestine terrorists did it, i can kindof understand them. The us supports isreal in its attacks against the palestine people. If one crazy guy blows up a bus in israel, they will respond by annihlating a village or two. Of course people will get mad when the "democratic" us supports this behaviour. It doesnt justify, but it explains it..
According to Merriam Webster SF is "fiction dealing principally with the impact of actual or imagined science on society or individuals or having a scientific factor as an essential orienting component".
For me, SF requires some kind of scientific approach to the anomalities. The great difference between sf and fantasy (which, imo, should be subgenres of another genre, yet to be defined) i think is that in fantasy, things just happen. People throw fireballs, and thats it.
Science fiction is not just a book set in space, or 'the dark future', but something more. Dont get me wrong, I love star wars, but it is not SF.
And neither are the Harry potter books. Fantasy yes, not sf. The question then is whether or not the two should be counted as one when handing out prices, or if the two genres should be more well-defined.
If you say things like 'gaga gogo bla bla' to your kid, and then read it stupid books, of course its going to take some time for it to learn how to speak.
If you, on the other hand, like you did, only read real litterature, the child will learn faster. But then you might get in trouble with moralists and such, you think you corrupt your precious baby and take away its childhood from it.
I am thankful to my parents who taught me to read at an early age, and thanks to computer games i was able to read The Hobbit in english (me being swedish) at the age of 8.
So, my tip for you now is to get the kid into games like monkey island, pirates and other games that teach you how to be a law-abiding citizen. =)
