We do so care.
Curious how the murders of 3,000 Americans just do not matter and one mans struggle for justice benefitting all people is a real problem for ya.
Perhaps you've heard about a place called Afghanistan? I have a friend serving there right now. You may ask why he'd be in such a place, and I'd have to answer: "To struggle for justice benefitting all people regarding the murder of 3,000 of the world's citizens - many of whom were American, some were not."
Anyone claiming we do not care about the murder of innocents is seriously off their rocker. What we
do care about is extracting justice from the appropriate quarters. The American government may be many bad things, but it did not murder the occupants of the World Trade Center, the passengers and crew of those airline jets, nor any of the people in the Pentagon. A group in Afghanistan took credit for the actions, all the credible evidence points to this same group, and a great deal of money has been spent there in an attempt to take care of this problem.
Whether we're in Iraq for the right reasons is another issue, but the actions in Afghanistan, as far as I can tell, were justified.
Your ranting about a concrete column and a government conspiracy to erase all records and references to a seemingly non-existant television show will not bring justice for the deaths on September 11, 2001. Trying to see things that just do not exist in photographs in distant objects, seeing things no one else can and expecting us to fall in line with claims of how the World Trade Center should have fallen and how it seemed to fall too fast and more damage than two five hundred mile an hour aircraft with almoust 70000 pounds of fuel (and probably near full gross weight: well over 200,000 pounds) could have done doesn't serve anyone's justice.
A fantasy world has been created where the United States government is evil beyond all measure and purposely destroyed two of the most important icons in the free world just so they could go to war in a far off land. Once created this world feeds on the lack of evidence to support it. The lack of evidence is proof of the conspiracy to destroy the evidence. This is circular and fatal logic and will not lead to any kind of truth. The truth
is out there and the NIST did their best to publish it.
While we may not have all the evidence we would like to support our convictions, we do have real and tangible evidence. Experts called in to investigate the issue wrote a report. The report is available to anyone caring to read it. It was excruciatingly detailed, exhaustive, and careful. Certain aspects that did not offer credible hope for progress were not followed because more and better leads were available.
We get passionate about the truth so that when we prosecute someone it is the right someone. We feel insulted when accused of not caring about the murder of three thousand people just because we don't buy into a fantasy world view. We don't buy into the fantasy world view precisely because it is fantasy. We do care about the fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters that will never come home. We care so much it hurts. But we are not willing to shred reality for some home grown fantasy, with no supporting evidence, no probability it could have happened, and no logical reason any sane person should believe it.
Objectivity and a dispassionate approach are a tool used to filter fiction from truth. No wild eyed tilting at dragons will ever make dragons real, no wild eyed tilting at concrete cores will make them real.
Never, ever, accuse anyone of not caring about the three thousand lives lost that day. Not for not believing your version of the world. It isn't right.
