9-11, give me a break.

Why does it stick out for you?

Well. our language is German. That's also the narrative our tv went along with and my understanding of the terms also. Folks seems to be the friendler term if you talk about attackers. Much like a cordial reference to a merry bunch of pub dwellers, whereas guys is rather neutral. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the finer distinctions between the words, but that's how I understood it at that time and was rather flabbergasted by Bush using the word.
