The Pentagon is a better target than the White House
in simple war terms, but then so isn't the NY Stock
Exchange a better target than the WTC? I mean, even as
a symbolic gesture? Or was the WTC something more than
a simple office building, as I've always assumed?
Could it be that the WTC was simplier easier to hit
than the stock exchage, and similarly that the
Pentagon is easier to hit than the White House? I
heard somewhere that coming in from the south along
the Potomac at a relatively low altitude, the pilot
may not have even seen the White House, while the
Pentagon looms into view...
