Quote:The truly sad thing about the 9/11 Truth movement is that it's based upon the wildly erroneous proposition that our leaders would ever be frightened enough of public opinion to feel the need to pull off this kind of stunt before acting in a place like Afghanistan or Iraq. At its heart, 9/11 Truth is a conceit, a narcissistic pipe dream for a dingbat, sheeplike population that is pleased to imagine itself dangerous and ungovernable. Rather than admit to their own powerlessness and irrelevance, or admit that they've spent the last fifty years or so electing leaders who openly handed their tax money to business cronies and golfed in Scotland while middle America's jobs were being sent overseas, the adherents to 9/11 Truth instead flatter themselves with fantasies about a ruling class obsessed with keeping the terrible truth from the watchful, exacting eye of The People.
Firstly, the highlighted statement is complete rubbish, as an "historian" like yourself should know Soren.
Secondly, I think it's entirely undemocratic to be throwing insults at people for merely asking questions.
Quote:If so many thousands of people had not died, I would laugh at this stuff, but because they did, I shake my head in shame, that so many people are so eager to jump onto ridiculous conspiracy theories that are literally, "INSANE".
Yes, if it's used as a sensationalist or attention grabbing tool then it's a desecration of the lives lost.
However, most people have genuine questions and are asking these questions because the lives of those people
were important, as are the lives lost, and still to be lost, through the ensuing invasions and the aftermaths of all attacks.
Spending more money on the Monica Lewinsky investigation than 911 is what I call a real desecration.
..not even to mention the WMD lie.
