Who Can't Handle The Truth?

I had the day off, so I took the lovely Mrs. Smith to see World Trade Center. At the beginning of his movie, director Oliver Stone states that it is a true story. While overall the movie is pretty good, it's not the whole truth.

I'm specifically troubled by the sequence when the twin towers come crashing to the ground. Stone depicts people from all over the world sitting dumbfounded watching or listening to the news of the despicable attack. However, there is one place Stone's political sensitivities prevent him from going - the West bank and Gaza strip. I didn't see any depiction of jubilant Palestinians dancing in the streets at the horrific loss of American life. It might not be politically correct, but it is historically accurate and important to remember that.

When this country suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history, our friends in Israel wept. Cowardly terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah had a party.
