163. Minimize damage
What damage was minimized? 8 buildings destroyed. 11 Buildings severely damaged. They flew 2 jets into them. This is not minimizing damage. Minimizing damage is not blowing up any buildings. Minimizing damage is stopping the terrorists. from getting on the jets.

You are saying the blew up the buildings to minimize damage. Say that again. They blew up the building to minimize the damage. Do you see the contradiction? If they blew up the building they wanted to cause damage. And those 2 jets kind of threw a monkey wrench into the whole minimize damage theory as well. You don't initiate a controlled demolition by slamming a pair of fully fueled jets into a building.

I'm sorry. You are going to have to provide some sense of how the damage was minimized and how that is sensible. Simply saying to minimize the damage is not an argument.
