I didn't find it exploitive at all. My preference would be to completely forget about all the terrorist stuff that happened over the past 20 years. Yeah, that would be great to shut it all out and pretend things were really wonderful. No stress, no worry, nobody hating us with a passion so great that I can't understand or even comprehend. But reality bites. I had to watch. What this film did for me was to pull all the incidents that I had isolated as singularities into a continuous story line. I think the continuous scenario puts the current events into a more accurate light. My singularity view was an attempt on my part to hide from the ugly truth that 9/11 wasn't the beginning, nor is it the end. 9/11 happened because good men did nothing and evil triumphed. Is there more and worse coming, or will good men finally stand up to true evil, unafraid, unashamed and do whatever it takes to stop it. I watched that blasted NBC docudrama and I’m glad I did.
