Then why do you not have the nerve to say what you really believe?
You believe that your fellow countrymen planned, executed and covered up mass murder of 3000 of their own.
Come on you decent guys say it, put your beliefs to this one dimensional text, be the first CTER to have the nerve to say what you really believe.
People crap all over you pal because they are offended and appalled by your beliefs, they are annoyed that guys like you who think this is all one big game and crap all over this event.
You have and will continue to accuse people of this most heinous crime and you do so from the safety and security of you own house. You then have the nerve to accuse those who will not join you of being narrow minded, fixed in their ways.
NO MM, people are not fixed, people are not narrow minded, they are sick and tired of individuals like you, with their over blown sense of importance pretending you have seen something everybody else missed.
Now do it MM, say what you really believe, have the courage that you foolish pretend those who oppose you do not have. Say what you really think.
I will say it for you ¨I,MM accuse Americans of committed mass murder of 3000 of their own¨
Now simply nod your CT head in agreement.
I try and say what is worth saying. Emotional tirades only lead to even greater emotional responses..as you enjoy proving.
I prefer to consider myself a citizen of the world first. For too long we've thought in terms of borders and the time is rapidly approaching when those borders will become meaningless.
People crap on other people because they can do it without revealing their true identity. You enjoy hiding behind
stateofgrace but if you had to use your real name and provide full contact information, I believe you would be far more tactful in your responses, and of course, so would I.
Heinous? No one ever says heinous any more (I don't remember ever hearing that outside of the odd novel).
And what makes you believe that Americans are and less likely than any other people to murder their own, especially if they believe the end justifies the means?
Americans had no difficulty killing each other in the American Revolution and the Civil War. American leaders had no problem using the Draft to send 50,000 young men to their deaths in Vietnam. They are doing a similar thing in Iraq.
I believe 9/11 was motivated by a political belief that it would provide the necessary public support for the ruling power structure to obtain the congressional and public backing they needed to pursue a course that they felt was critical to the future of the U.S.A.
My belief is that those who feel they are much wiser than ourselves see a grim future. We live on a planet that is rapidly approaching unsustainable overpopulation. We face dwindling oil reserves while oil consumption continues to rise. We are oil dependent and do not have any quick or affordable replacement. The U.S. is the world's No.1 military power. It's in a unique position in history and I'm sure those controlling those reins don't want to see them dropped. By securing the last remaining major oil reserves, the military's demand for oil is slaked and the economic engine of the U.S. is temporarily protected. It won't last but it will buy time..more time than the other major power threats (China, India, Japan, Russia etc.) will have.
Whether you believe that or not, the response to 9/11 provided the current administration with the mandate they desired and allowed them to seize control of the country with the oil assets they felt were critically needed.
Some might argue that it was a failure because of the current mess in Iraq but I could argue that 'mess' is part of the desired plan. A stable Iraq makes it difficult for the U.S. to 'stay'. An unstable Iraq justifies American long term continued involvement in maintaining some stability and defacto control over oil asset management.
