you know, i always wondered why of all places to attack, they chose the twin towers. starting to understand it now.

The twin towers made a ton of sense:

  • lots of people in a small area
  • symbol of America's dominance of trade
  • iconic buildings in the heart of perhaps the most iconic American city

yep, and tons of other reasons, too. i agree with everything you said, but i say that the largest contributor might sound a bit controversial.. it all comes down to "kids these days". or maybe not, but i still think it's a major component.

edit - i forgot to mention that 'kids these days' goes back as far as written time

edit2 - i'm sorry - i'm totally butchering my point.
