I personally think it is oversimplistic to associate what happened at Munich with 9/11. Tempting - but incorrect.

PD...I read that most of the "criticism" he's received regarding the movie is from people who haven't seen it, as the movie has been closely guarded. The two widows that saw it, who had the full "right" to an opinion - everyone has their right to an opinion, but some opinions carry more weight than others - appreciated the film and gave it their version of a thumbs up.
I know it was overly simplistic, but I couldn't think of anything to get the point across regarding the horror of watching it unfold on television. I watched the 9/11 horrors on television the same way...stunned disbelief. It wasn't so much a comparison of the two events, but a comparison of watching something horrific unfold on television.
