Had the World Trade Center been made of concrete, would it have fallen down so violently, if at all, saving more lives by not falling down?

The buildings were held up by steel i-beams that buckled under the heat of the burning jet fuel and support beams being destroyed. To my knowledge, concrete doesn't buckle under heat. I just want to know if anybody else has thought of this and what conclusions they came up with.

Thanks!

I am really confused about gov't! Also, if you know who the congressman is currently, that would be appreciated. Is it Senator Allen, Governor Kain, Congressman Moran?

So far Lil 'w' hasn't accepted responsibility for any of the things that have happened or he instigated "on his watch". He's done a lot of finger pointing and it seems for every foul-up, he has a new person to blame.

Just who is running this show anyway? Obviously, 'w's lost control.

I'm really disappointed that Ms. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice does not want to run for president. However, I think she's way ahead of me, and she probably figures that America isn't ready for a black woman president. I mean...we haven't had a black president, yet. We haven't had a woman president, yet. If Ms. Rice, a black woman, becomes president then we would be skipping a few steps ahead of ourselves. To me and a lot of people that's a great great thing. But how does "most" American feel? What do you think?

Does this not simply help the terrorists? They already think the rest of the world are weak people. They really don't care how we treat them, but delight in any controversy among civilation.
What do you think?

And the same with any others that say they promote sueicide bombers and tell other Muslums to kill Americans in the name of their God.
We say we are doing everything we can on terrisom but are we?
Why Should we allow the President of Iran into America the land he Hates?

How do Christian Democrats deal with issues like abortion and how much of it is garbadge ?
I am a Republican, but sometimes I wonder why ?
I just want really fair open views here.
I know Presedent Kennedy was Demorcrate, but he was also a full Catholic Christian, so abortion would have been out.
Or, would it have been ?
I am Born again, Holy Spirit filled Christian/ Roman Catholic,woman.
I have stayed a Republican, because I have been "told" that they are the most moral, morality believers, decent.
Is this true ?
Are Christian Democrats are trying to put more restrictions on abortions ? Are you in favor of Abortion?
Fighting / working to keep marriage pure,between a man and woman, working to keep same sex marriages illegal?
I just want to know.
Thanks.

There comes a time when we must accept that the idea that islam which is a brutal and barbaric religion, and Christianity are compatible, is a knoble lie. How much must we Christians endure to pacify the muslim population? We are made to accept there ways without comment. We are subjected to their refusal to assimilate to our British way of life and we are expected to be thankful for "multi-culturalism." We are not allowed to pass comment on any muslim without being termed racist. There is a limit to all patience. The recent attack on the Pope by muslims is simply an illustration of their inability to behave towards Christians as they demand to be treated themselves- Have they never heard of: Papal Infallability? I feel very sorry for people who have to live side by side with muslims, for they do not know when the axe will fall.

Religious idolotry has once again caused humans to start killing each other. The only difference in these superstitious beliefs is some ritual details and names of "Gods".

When are we humans going to drop the crutches of "hocus-pocus" and start being responsible for our own actions.

Maybe if we stop putting so much importance on "things that aren't there" maybe we will start to take better care of "things that are there".

How are we going to win the "hearts and minds" of these people when we do creepy stuff like this! This looks more like something Saddam or Hitler would do, than an American president.

I've been reading about our presidents decision to circumvent the law and human decency. He's decided it's a good idea to kidnap people 14,000 so far and keep them in secret prisons without pressing any charges or even attempting to prove their guilty of any crime.
This ain't the American way.
When is someone going to take this "Mini-Hilter" to task for HIS crimes against humanity and his desecration of America's reputation.
