Inevitable response to 9/11 in Yanks desperately trying to convince themselves they possess absolute power; while Al-Qaeda still remains a potent fear for Whites & Zionists. What if it were possible to stop 9/11 after it had happened?

Accept the absurd premise, the illogical plot and the unconvincing necrophile love story and this overwrought melodrama is exciting fun because it is essentially about a common response to emotional loss: Crying over spilt milk.

Terrorism obviously has the same effect as Christmas since people of the same ethnicity act nicer to one another in their need to share their suffering. Nevertheless, this is still just an example of the immaturity of crying over spilt milk: An ineffectual sticking plaster to a great cultural wound.

The movie also tries to have its cake and eat it through the terrorist being simultaneously successful and unsuccessful; satisfying both the bloodthirsty and those hoping for rescue.
