Reply #21: No, I think most of us know what a "normal" reaction to a crisis is... [View All]

It does not take hindsight... Most of us have dealt with serious crises in our life, whether the acute illness or injury of a family member, a car wreck involving ourselves or one we come upon, a potentially violent confrontation, etc. While the magnitude of these events may be far different, the seriousness and immediacy are not so dissimilar. It simply is not "NORMAL" to just sit there.

That he did just sit there reflects one of two things. Either it is reflective of his having been "taken care of" his entire life given his life of privilege, never being held responsible for anything and thus lacking the knowledge, experience, and ability to lead. Alternately, it suggests the horrible possibility that he made a conscious determination to do nothing. The latter suggests involvement either in the attack (vis-a-vis OPERATION NORWOOD) or in a conscious decision to allow the attacks to proceed. Many here believe the latter. All I know is that a puppet in the WH would certainly allow for the possibility.
