That four guys armed with nothing more than box cutters could over power a flight crew, 100 passengers and two military-trained pilots is a big stretch. That they could do this in four separate incidents is the stuff of bad movies. Again, if this does not raise questions in your mind, then you maybe lacking one.

Yet again, I don't know where to begin with your idiocy. First off, if I was the pilot of a plane (with another next to me) and we were both trained Navy Seals (I bet most have little to no military experience, perhaps boot camp - nothing to back this up, just what I'd assume), and four men had box cutters to my throat, I would give little resistance (especially since I didn't know what their intent was...perhaps they wanted us to land at another airbase so they could take one of the men on board hostage, a politician or a drug smuggler that owed them money, anything). I would comply 100% with these men, and hope for the best. I'm sure the other passengers on board had the same mentality.
The men on the flight that hit in the field knew the intention of the terrorists, thus taking action. Your unintelligence really bothers me...I hope there's not too many more people that think like you. Have fun being brainwashed by "Beginners Guide to Media Deception" (or any of the other books mentioned in the above post). You certainly are a master at international affairs by reading them!
