All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible. --T.E. Lawrence

Choices
Ten years ago, our country was attacked by terrorists as they plunged two planes into the World Trade Center. This was a very complicated time for our country, with big decisions to be made, but at the same time, Bin Laden was making big decisions too. This being one of Al Queda's biggest attacks, he had to have the right people to do it. I'm not sure how he chose these men, but it was probably based, not on physical strength, but on mental strength. These men had to be able to focus enough to pray specific prayers before they actually hit the towers and focus completely on God and how this was a task for him. Bin Laden had probably observed these men for a while before picking them to do this job. The men he picked had to be strong believers and have strong minds to 'make an oath to die' and complete the task at hand.

Bin Laden probably went through alot of thought on who to chose and how to perpare them for this. I would hope that it would be hard to find a plan to committe mass nurder on America.
