I got this E-mail this morning......
Where were the MEN?
On the Long Island train the "men" cowered as the killer casually strolled down the aisle, shooting targets of choice. One "man," actually related how he had held his briefcase over his head, hunched down in his seat and prayed that he would not be shot. Finally, while the shooter stopped to reload, when there was no danger, a couple of heroes tackled him.
At Columbine, 17 and 18 year old boys who should be men cowered under tables, hoping they would not be shot while the shooters casually reloaded and killed more.
Today, we do not yet and may never know how many "men" sat frozen in their seats while the hijackers stabbed flight attendants because they didn't have the balls to put themselves in harms way. Let the words of Pete Wiesner printed below serve as notice to the complacent American Male that we are now at war and you just might be called upon to put yourself on the line. In all the above cases there were enough men present to overwhelm the killers, quickly and with certainty. All it takes, or, at least, all it used to take, was one to get it started.
Which will you be? The one who gets it started or the one who sits, frozen in fear, hoping, praying, that you won't be a "victim."
Thank you, Pete, for sending this. It's comforting to know there is at least one man who asked the same question.

Wanna know what happened on September 11, 2001?
The Japanese did not bomb pearl harbor with explosives, they did not sink ships with torpedoes, nor did hundreds die from strafing machine gun fire.
Some tiny men with POCKET KNIVES killed thousands of innocent civilians.
This is exactly the kind of attitude that is leading us down the road of disarmament in this country.
A bunch of whiney, scared sissies who want to be protected.
Nobody on that plane could have stood up and wacked one of those idiots with a laptop? I venture to guess that on a plane from Boston to LA there were numerous laptop computers. Could not ONE MAN have stood up and threw laptops at these idiots like a pissed off wife throwing dishes?
No, because this plane was loaded with the same people who think that Americans don't need guns, the second amendment needs to be repealed in order to make society safe. Self defense isn't part of their vocabulary. They are scared shivering little people who want the cops and the military to take care of them.
Where were your protectors today?
Did anyone notice that NOT ONE of those flights originated from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma or any state where a good old boy would have slapped them down faster than they could mutter an unintelligible word?
The problem isn't with our intelligence departments, it is with our own bravery. We lack it. I am ASHAMED to be part of a country where people with pocket knives can kill thousands of my friends, neighbors and countrymen.
