Ask yourself this, who benefited from 9/11? I can't think of anyone except the Bush admin. After 9/11 Bush's popularity soared, he was able to take almost complete control of the country and pass any law in the name of terror. He used the fear of terror as an excuse to invade Iraq, he used the fear of terror to pass the Patriot Act, he used the fear of terror as a reason to tap phone lines without warrants, and he has used terror to accomplish just about everything else he has done (inlcuding being re-elected). To this day he still does not make speeches without using the word terror.
He mentions terror constantly but has not mentioned bin Ladens name in 3 years, doesnt that seem odd to anyone? And for anyone to think its beyond them to take out 3000 of its own citizens yet its okay to take out 200,000 Iraqi's better think twice.
Putting all the things about 9/11 that don't add up aside I would still question it. I firmly believe this admin (especially Cheney and Rumsfeld) have learned quite a few things from the Nazi's and how they were able to take complete control of a country and have applied them to this govt. The Nazi's were very proficient at using propaganda through the media, this administration has attempted to do the same thing with paying off reporters, making its own news stories and sending them to the media, and there's FOX News. The Nazi's were able to sway the German people by also using fear and patriotism (sound familiar?). In 1933 the German Parliament was burned to the ground. The Nazi's blamed the Communists (terrorists) and immediately declared a state of emergency and suspended their constitution (one month after 9/11 came the Patriot Act). It was later discovered that the Nazi's were behind the fire.
The bottom line is there is no better way to control people than through fear. Bush and company fully realize it and have used it to constantly since 9/11. Imagine if Clinton would have done the same after the OKC bombing, the republicans would have went berserk.
