No.
shareHold your friends close and your enemies closer.
shareI would not
shareProbably not. Maybe, though.
shareI would. It's an interesting perspective and allows us to better understand why they did it. Seems kinda "snowflake"-like to not want to hear from the other side.
shareSort of like Letters From Iwo Jima?
shareOh, please tell me why they did it. I need to hear both sides. Good Grief! Call me “snowflake” if you will, but I don’t need the Kumbaya attitude “to better understand why they did it”. There’s no need “to hear from the other side.” There’s absolutely *no* justification for the heinous act so why wring our hands trying to understand? I hope they’re enjoying their 72 virgins in hell!
sharethere might be" no justification" , but theres still a "why they did it"...
shareWell, I don't know, Eric. I would have thought it's a bit "snowflake-ish" to want to "hear the other side". I mean, nothing that you'd learn would change anybody's mind, would it? It won't make the perps feel more "understood", because they're dead. And it won't make the victim's families feel better, because nothing they'd learn about the terrorists would do that.
Sounds like the only people who are actually interested in this are the worst kind of snowflakes.
I'm just saying if we hear from the other side, maybe we can prevent another future tragedy from happening.
shareI watched a movie that showed the planning of the holocaust from the perspective of some of the German elite, Conspiracy (2001). I'm part Jewish, and surely some distant relatives of mine died from it. Excellent movie (fantastic cast w/ Kenneth Branagh as Reinhard Heydrich, the Butcher of Prague). But I don't like watching anything related to 9/11, even from our perspective.
shareYep
shareI think I'd prefer a documentary. I know it shouldn't be about them, but I do find it interesting to see how and what brought about this horrendous act. I have tried to look up their backgrounds to see where it went wrong for these privileged guys.
shareGood reply.
shareyou should read the book I mentioned above.
