Let's see if I've got this right. Muslims hate us because they are convinced 911 is an inside job, therefore the facts of their beliefs are self evident by way of ascribing to these beliefs the motivation thereof. In addition, since Muslims believe what they believe then WE are therefore at war with them, and events of the 21st century explain attitudes developed in the 20th.
Brilliant. Time works backwards and cause and effect are inversed.
Now that we have that one settled, if you would just be so kind as to answer the stupid question. "why can't I ever find the mate to all my mismatched socks" all the secrets of the word will be revealed.
All right. Let me break it down.
If 911 was an inhouse job, it was probably used to a.) give the president more powers and b.) allow the president to use our forces and tax money to further his investments.
Using Osama bin Laden as a symbol to blame, and attacking him and taking over his country makes 911 look like the Reichstag burning with al-Qaeda playing the roles of the communists, and causes many moderates to rally around them against this foreign power trying to invade--and has never cleared up many questions concening the true nature of the attacks.
If Osama really did attack, why is the us govt so unwilling to realease the citgo/hotel tapes from virginia? or explain what the security forces were doing in the twin towers the week before the attack--and the subseguent removal of bomb sniffing dogs? or the number of put options were up 3times their daily average on 9-8, 4times on 9-9, and 11times on 9-10? or the explosions that are visible in the towers with an infrared video--that apparently cause the buildings to crumble? or explain the video that us forces stumbled upon in afghanistan showing a 50 lbs too heavy osama boasting about the attacks--even though he eats and writes in it with his right hand when it is known he's left handed, with no reports of him being ambidextrous?
I'm not saying i know, just that i can't blame somebody on that side of the argument, who feels osama was a worthy scapegoat. Of course, afghanistan ain't worth much...so we went into iraq for....what exactly?
I'm not one to believe we should declare war on anyone because their brown and their ancestors aren't the ancestors our god sides with.
All I'm saying is it is very easy for the govt to clear this up and show we really believe in all that freedom stuff we love to beat our chests to.(unless you're country has oil and you-gasp-think the common people should get a piece of it. ****ing commies. what happened to the good 'ole days of american supported fascism? oh yeah...$audi arabia/egypt and the bu$hies still l$ve each other :lol: )
so...not to get too far into conspiracy theories here, but maybe the govt. should try to clear these divisions up and get us back to those glorious arabia loves america years of the mid 40s before armagedon?
