RE: Nehkara's last post...

Agreed. And furthermore, does anyone actually think that a man can get to be president and have those kinds of plans and thoughts? I mean, to kill 3000 of your fellow citizens, to have the capacity to do it, must have come out at some point in their life.
Somewhere along the way, the person (Bush, Cheney, whoever was the mastermind) must have inadvertantly expressed his evil to the wrong person, and that would have to have gone public at some point.

I just don't believe that the son of an ex-president grows up with this kind of plan in mind. And I believe even less that he attains his own presidency, and then does a 180 and turns on the people he was just 'elected' by.

Of course, I have been accused of being too altruistic before.


Edit...

Nehkara's other point...

I'm going to come off as an apologist here, but here goes. Did the government know that there was a threat? Maybe. Do you think the government just ignored it? I doubt that.
I would venture that they knew there was some kind of threat, and that they were trying to kill the threat without alarming citizens.

Hell, Bush's first campaign was half based on missle defence. He's the last guy that wants this kind of egg on his face.

"OK folks. We are officially safe from foreign missles"

"Uh, Mr. President? We were just attacked by our own passenger planes. Nice defence program"

"D'OH!"
