I think those who are requesting a retitling of the second LOTR movie are being somewhat naive. <P>Those who have the Twin Towers horror seared into their consciousness will not need to be reminded- it will be with them forever. <P>Those who have forgotten, or placed it at the back of their minds will hardly be traumatized by a movie title referring to Two Towers. <P>Moreover, for those of us who travel by air, the institution of extensive security procedures brings home the evil reality of the Twin Towers every time we fly.<P>Indeed, there is a case for arguing that the Twin Towers horror should be permanently kept in the forefront of all our minds less we grow careless of the threat of international terrorism, in which case, keeping the movie as titled could be seen as serving a beneficial purpose.
