The Federal Emergency Management Agency has come under fire for a controversial Sept. 11 image that was placed in a disaster-preparedness coloring book for children.
The book shows children various disasters, including hurricanes and floods, but one of the pages displayed an illustration of the World Trade Center twin towers in New York. One of the towers has smoke and fire coming out of it, while an airplane is shown heading toward the other tower.
FEMA pulled the coloring book from its Web site on Tuesday after receiving complaints from parents.

Should FEMA be in the business of teaching kids about the history of disasters (man made and natural) in the USA?

Aa a "scientist" you should know that 9/11 was meticulously planned what make them excluded from natural disasters' (mathematical) set. As a "mad" you can say any crap you like, including the type above (the comment of yours).
BTW. New "American Man" similar to the (in)famous "Soviet Man" is being built now in the USA with small steps. One of it you spotted and dragged out to day light (on your blog), Mr Slightly (really?) Mad Scientist.

Xeno,
I have an impression that your present comment is not that one I read before I have wrote mine. Perhaps I was to sleepy and tired then, so I wrongly read out your intentions, the more so I was reading also other blogs at the time on the same subject. Definitely I had to write my comment to other text. Please accept my apologize. :)
I'm still baffled why I did what I did... :)
