culture. Americans assume we have to work so taking down the WTC scared us and pizzed us all off but in a couple of days we were all back to our normal routines.

If the terrorist truly understood us those attacks would have happened on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and targeted Happy Valley or Giants Stadium. Hitting us where we play would have been much more devistating to the American psyche.

If they believed they were at war with us then the WTC was a valid but wholly symbolic target.
