I dislike radical Islamists and leftists as much as Ayaan does, but this video is a mess:
1. The Flight 93 passengers were bigger heroes than the hundreds of firefighters and police who ran into the towers? Why? What other choice did the Flight 93 passengers have besides rushing the cockpit? Were they going to sit back and watch a movie, knowing that the hijackers were going to crash the plane?
2. Ayaan would have us believe that large numbers of Americans back in 2001 believed that poverty was the motivation for the attacks, and those same people wanted to respond by nation building. Nice story, but without factual basis.
3. I don't like jihadists, and I don't like leftist radicals, but it is kind of hard to seriously compare the two. Jihadists attempt to murder innocent people every day of the year, mostly in countries thousands of miles away from the US. Can the same claim be made about leftists? Furthermore, a large percentage of followers of the leftist leaders are dupes who actually believe that they are fighting for freedom and equality, and who would never commit a violent act themselves, or even support someone else's. Would any reasonable person say the same about jihadis?
