Explaining anything to children or anyone not up the curve on any subject matter has always been self-serving, not only for the BBC, or terrorists but also America as well. We tell our children the way WE see history and the way we want others to see it. The winners write the books as we all know. My American history book is written a bit different than the native american history (Mr. Zinn’s mission) book or the russian history book. People all have different ways of explaining the lives of Moses, Jesus, Mohammed and even John Smith. There are probably more accurate ways to explain events to children, but we are flawed and selfish people and we will always tell our children the way we see it. Our country is built on freedom of expression. If someone is out explaining 9/11 in a way that you dont like, sorry.
