alexpgp | From a Libertarian Party op-ed...

An excerpt:

...United Flight 93 passengers Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, Mark Bingham, and Lou Nacke.

These four men realized that terrorists planned to crash their plane into the White House or the Capitol. If that was allowed to happen, hundreds of people would die.

So with a quiet declaration -- "Let's roll!" -- and armed only with courage, these passengers struck back against the terrorists.

We don't know exactly what happened in those final, frenzied moments. But the plane swerved, dipped, and then crashed into an unpopulated rural area in Pennsylvania.

These four men didn't wait for anyone's orders. They simply took a quick vote and took matters into their own hands. They saved countless lives in the process.

Perhaps General George Patton was thinking of these heroes when he said: "It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived."

Cheers...
