Here's today's "cartoon" from Arab News, if you thought that radical Muslims had given up the idea of crashing planes into our buildings:

So, the system worked in so far as the immediate area of central D.C. was evacuated.
But if there's a "next time," I don't want my government to hesitate for a moment to shoot down an "errant" plane in a no-fly zone!
In fact, it makes me more than a little furious that they did this time.
We know only too well how it took waaaaayyyy too long for our fighters to get up in the air on 9/11 and even if we have to shoot down someone who's "innocent," it will teach other careless pilots and any number of would-be terrorists an important lesson.
