World Trade Center movie?

I think it's really silly that Hollywood is trying to capitalize on September 11th with such movies as World Trade Center and United 93. The tragedy that was September 11th was really devastating and it is much too soon to have Hollywood capitalizing on the events and too soon to be glorifying it for the sake of pro-American patriotic propaganda. Doing the second is a disgrace to the memory of those who died....

In addition to this, I am really annoyed at the terrorists in the UK for plotting something, can we please talk about something else besides terrorism? God damn Al Qaeda for turning American politics into what it is today.

Also on the note of terrorism, I saw the most ridiculous commercial on TV recently. It had a little child and a narrator saying, "Does your child know what to do in the event of terrorist attack?" much like the commercials we used to have growing "Does your child know what to do in the event of fire?" Such commercials have political undertones and are just playing on the fears of Americans. Certainly those who live in New York City, DC and LA have more than a 0.00001% chance of being the victim of a terrorist attack, but for the rest of us the odds are very very slim. I wish the media wouldn't perpetuate this myth that the likelihood of terrorist attack is greater than it really is.
