But apparently the fellow who reacted to the Detroit Bomber was inspired by GOD according to Joe Lieberman AND was part of the "system" that "worked" according to Janet Napaletano. So GOD and our system are working hand in hand....

I realize he was both a real person and saved the flight. The "hero" thing comes in when you ask whose ass he was trying to save. I think the fellow did well...

"If you hadn't, the system wouldn't have worked." "Thank god I took that flight." "That's our system at work!"

:grr:

No, the "system" did not work. We got lucky that some passenger noticed.
