In your "Twin Towers" example it couldn't portray the terrorists who flew the planes into the towers as the good guys in the story, that's just horrible. Yeah, it's all about how it's handled. I think having some kind of wizard in the IDF in Israel right now, fighting in the conflict in Gaza, could be interesting if handled well. The thing is, though, you would certainly need to get across the very real and tragic nature of the real-life events.
