A good write and nothing against you personally but if Michael Sheen's character was President on 9/11, we'd all be speaking Islam because the SOB would have surrendered America on the spot!

This was nicely handled, and very well written. Thank you.

Wow. That was great. I especially loved the speech at the end...as well as the refrain of "This is/is not important." Good stuff.

Wow, I just put up my fic concerning the same thing. And then I found your fic. The similarities are kind of surprising. But anyway - I'll join in with others in saying "Thanks." You did justice to both the events and the characters. Very nicely written.

I think that was wonderfully done and was not in any way disrespectful. It was something I'd been thinking about since the day after, what if this had happened under Bartlett, stupid isn't it? I really liked the way you talked about what was and wasn't important. Things seem to have taken on different meanings, so many things now just seem trivial and unimportant that were big things two, three weeks ago. As a British citizen I can only send the sympathy of everyone I know because it is the only thing on our minds.

Very well written and extremely moving.

I liked the tasteful way that you did this... I, However, Was appalled that NBC pushed back the premier just to write this in.

hey i dont think it was wrong to write this, but it was tough to read, im 16 and i live in new york just 15 miles from nyc.

As a person who had to what happened from my school, I wanted to say this a beautiful story...and I hope their will be more :)

Very good! I didn't think it was in bad taste at all. Good job!

I agree with you about a need for closure. I love how you've written CJ's part as giving out as much information as she can find. I did the same thing. I thought this would be a huge mistake to write, but you've handled it with great care, and decency. Aaron Sorkin's got a tough time ahead of him if he plans to write it in the show.

Extremely well handled, sensitive and thought provoking... I just wonder how Aaron's gonna handle this pre-season terrorism special 'Issac & Ismael'... well done, great story/take on events.

Okay . . . well, let me first say, it's taken me a little while to be able to write a response to this, because I'm still rather close to all of this (had some friends in the south tower, and I was down at the Pentagon site the other day, to help some fellow Reservists-I can't even begin to describe it, it's just awful, and I can barely imagine what it's like at the WTC), and so it took me a while to get enough guts to read this. But I'm glad I did, because this is a wonderful story, and very human. It was quite cathartic, and I was really in tears at the end (although, I oddly got a laugh out of the idea of Leo advising the make-up artist; for some reason, in my mind's eye, I saw him saying, "No, no, that shade makes him look old. Here, gimme the blush, let me do it.") Great story. I truly enjoyed it.

Oh my god...this is really good. While I was watching the events happen that Tuesday...I wondered what would have happened if we did have the Bartlet White House as our real one. I know I wanted to escape to that White House. Watch Donna and Josh do their thing, Toby, Sam, Jed...the rest of them. And I did escape there.

You did a great job on this fic...and I think it is a good thing for us to see. Thank you for it...it is really, oddly, comferting. Um...yeah. Good job...great job.

Really, really good. I can't wait for more. I don't think it's callous at all. I think it's the therapy we all need.
