Speeder, you write and think beautifully. Congrats, man.

Jurgen, I do not know who really planned 9/11. I just do not buy the official thesis, there have been too many inconstencies in the official version. But like Pete Pranger, a mountain of evidence will never budge you from your position. That would be a waste of my time, and I have already done this exercise anyways. Your reality and mine will probably never meet, and it absolutely does not matter. Each one his truth, as long as we can live with it and respect eachother.

As far as preventing terrorism, what I would have done differently is UNDERSTAND what caused it. And fix the cause. Do not tell me that they are just evil people who are jealous of the american way of life, this is the explanation for arrogant little kids.

As far as WMD goes, they can now be found all around Baghdad, as radioactive dust from the DU ammunition that have been used three times more than in Gulf War I. It is now proven that this will make the soldiers sick and cause cancers among the iraquis, but apparently, the planners of the war do not care about these details. To me, thinking that they did not care about the 3000 lifes lost in the WTC is not such a big stretch either, but this is just me. And I respect the fact that this idea could be unacceptable for most.

Finally, the only certitude I have is that no one here knows the truth of the ongoing events. It is history unfolding itself, and it will take years for the dust to settle.
