Wow Milamber, those really are amazing. Some of the most interesting stills I've seen yet.

No offense meant MILAMBER but I find your signature to be in extremely bad taste.

There is no need to add an image of the destruction to images representing the strength of this country...it only serves as a constant horribly graphic reminder to others not just of what happened but that we, as a nation have been (wrongfully) conditioned to find something admirable in violence and destruction. Its pretty sickening.

Just my opinion.

I received these on email yesterday...absolutely stunning

Seeing so many video shots of the attacks is one thing, but to see still images that you can focus on and just see the damage is just too much.

What's wrong with a reminder? What would you call the Vietnam memorial? That's a reminder too. How did you come to the conclusion that it is somehow saying that violence is good? Are you saying that I am supporting the terrorists by my sig? Don't read too much into things. It is completely innocent I assure you. It was intended to be a reminder and a statement that we are still strong and will overcome. That is why there is a picture of the statue of liberty in the background with smoke all around it then a picture of it in pristine order proudly making a statement. There is a picture of the ruined towers next to a symbol of our country's freedom that we need to defend against terrorists. I can't imagine how you could see it as anything but patriotic.

Moni, I cannot of course, speak for Milamber...but I think it is a reminder that while these attacks were horrible and did so much damage and caused so much death, we as a nation will stand together and united to not only defeat this evil, but to also rebuild stronger and better than before.

It is not uncommon to show contrasting images such as this...you can see how the Eagle and Statue of Liberty are the largest and most visible images...showing that we will stand strong as a nation and ultimately prevail

Just my opinion

On mine it works through IE. It is a PPS format(power point slide show) but I don't think you need powerpoint installed for it to work. Maybe you aren't giving it long enough to download...
