I did say that I did not think that everything we are doing or have done was right. I will also admit that I don’t spend my time pouring over books on the subject.
However, I’ll never believe that there is some group of super powerful dry skinned old men closeted away in a dark room chain smoking while they manipulate world.
I am quite sure that there are a number of books out there that produce lots of half-truths and massaged facts in order to propagate the idea that the US is responsible for Sep 11. There are lots of anti-Americans who desperately want to believe this nonsense (just as there were a bunch jurors who desperately wanted to believe OJ was innocent).

If I believed that none of the fanatic anti-American Muslims had enough brains or money to plan the whole thing themselves, then maybe there would be some basis to such a claim. However, I am perfectly convinced that their brainpower is equal to that of Americans. Just as I believe that their fanaticism was and is more than strong enough to give them the impetus for such actions.

There are also books out there denying the holocaust. I’m not going to pick one of those up at the bookstore, either.

As for being weaklings, if you start a course and then back away, you look weak in the eyes of anyone watching.
