Honestly I am not sure how to respond to this.

This is a question to everyone. If "you" were President of the United States, would you have sent a fighter pilot out to shoot down the second plane???

I wouldn't because it is just morally wrong and I feel I would be considered a Nazi by the public and removed from office if I ever ordered a strike like that. I'm sure some people who disagree will say, "better 80 than 3000". But If I was President, I would never order an attack to kill American's.

Remember, they never thought the towers were going to fall. Then they did.

If it was a guarentee after the first attack and possibly a second attack that the towers WOULD fall, I don't know what they would have done. But that was not the case.

Lets here some feedback on this. hevusa would like some i'm sure. I don't know if he agrees with me but we will see.

I think you are getting ahead of yourself here. The quesiton isn't "do you think they should have shot down the plane". The question is "Why weren't they scrambled to the New York area to at least have that option".
