So why are so many willing to accept a 9/11 conspiracy, yet disregard a 1993 conspiracy?
The irony about the 2001 attack is there really was a conspiracy. A conspiracy that was indeed compartmentalized and known by only a handful of religious cult followers who had been brainwashed into believing suicide was the way to heaven. And the conspiracy worked. The attack did in fact succeed.
The conspiracy theorists know they will be mocked, derided and abused, and yet they continue. If any one here who is 'anti conspiracy theorist' can come up with one and I mean one good reason why the USA and the UK invaded Iraq a few years ago, then I want to hear it!
The other ironic thing about all this 9/11 conspiracy talk is I believe an excellent case could be made for a U.S. government conspiracy to invade Iraq. What little we have found out about the process leading up to the invasion seems to point the finger toward Cheney and Rumsfeld having advance knowledge that there were in fact no weapons of mass destruction. That they knowingly lied and manipulated the Congress and the country into believing otherwise. And they did so for their own reasons and ends.
Gill, the United States did not invade Iraq after the attacks on New York and Washington Sept. 11, 2001. America invaded Afghanistan. It defies logic to say the motivation for the 9/11 attacks was to manipulate the country into invading Iraq, when in fact it didn't. What's in the U.S. interests in Afghanistan?
The United States did not start beating the war drums on Iraq until a year or so later, finally invading year and a half after 9/11. Now I know Bush is stupid, but if 9/11 were a government conspiracy the time to invade Iraq was Sept or Oct. 2001. NOT March 2003.
That would be analogous to the U.S. waiting until March 1943 to attack Japan a full 18 months after Pearl Harbor was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941. It just doesn't make sense.
It is very uncomfortable to suspect that your govenment is against YOU and doesn't give a flying fart about YOU, only the super rich business people who pull their strings and own the world
I am at a loss to understand why you think people who want proof of a 9/11 government conspiracy also think the government cares about the average person. I assure you, I do not.
Earlier in this thread I mentioned a real conspiracy involving the American government's testing of nuclear weapons in the state of Nevada, and the effect of the subsequent radiation on innocent people for hundreds of miles around. The government knew about the radiation and yet said nothing. One test was in fact to see the effect of nuclear radiation on the average town as a means of studying its effects.
Such a government clearly does not care a tinkers dam about people.
Please show me where I've, or others who want proof (or at least a concise narrative of the conspiracy idea) have indicated we think George Bush is God's gift, or we've turned a blind eye toward the American government.
