Interesting off topic on the housing site. Don’t usually chime in here but couldn’t resist a few or more than few words. If we take step back here and look at the bigger picture, we know that the U.S. is currently the global superpower and as such, we are an imperialist nation looking to defend our super power status in the world, whether provoked or not. Our gov’t and military are always assessing and planning ahead to remain that way. I propose that 9/11 was just a part of a larger plan and was the fuel needed for the fire to rehsape the middle east. We may never know the real truth behind 9-11 but to dismiss it as being an unprovoked attack by islamic extremists is not looking at the big picture. Our government is probably one of the only organizations, coupled with other powerful govts, who could pull off such a feat as 9-11 on our soil. With our sophistication and military, the likelihood of some guy (binladen) living in a cave and orchestrating this whole thing with men with box cutters flying planes into buldings with no military resistance is far fetched. Plus all the other evidence or lack of evidence about the WTC’s way of collapsing has alreay been talked about extensively on this thread. I do think our gov’t has been planning this for some time now- those that are naive and think we just happen to walk into this should wake up. The Bush administration has been the one to implement this plan and as you have been seeing, they are executing it. I don’t think they expected the resistance and chaos they now have in Iraq, but expect an attack on Iran next year to neutralize their nuclear capacity. We have some forces in afghanistan and Iraq already, and the goal is for regime change in Iran. Bush has this goal and for better or for worse, he is on track to pull it off. The masses of people in the USA needed an emotional reason to support sending troops overseas, and 9/11 was that reason. Now, even as the public support has waned, it seems that both the dems and repubs are in not backing down on Iran. I don’t think we as the public will have a say right now. The troop levels will increase in Iraq as we prepare for Iran and Bush will want to finish this Mideast plan before leaving office. That is why we hear all the lies and coverups and why Bush will not listen to the majority of our people or the vast majority of european leaders- remember, it is all based on trying to remain THE superpower in the world- unfortunately, at some point, all empires will fall- only time will tell when our time is up. Just my two cents.
