An acquaintance from across the pond recently forwarded to me a power point document in which the creator of the presentation attempts to impart the view that the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks were acts committed by our own government. I am appalled that any such accusations would be made but then I have a tendency to want to look at the World through square glasses of rosy color. I thought this would be a good place to share my response amended to correct some grammatical and spelling errors. (Not all mind you).
“Subject: 9/11 PRESENTATION
This is the first time I have seen that presentation but I have heard discussions related to the claims contained therein numerous times. To finally hear and see the presentation of course raised my blood pressure another notch. I have little patience with lunacy (other than my own). When I rant and rave my husband worries. He says it isn't what you say that bothers me -- I am afraid you mean it. People of the right or the left do not respect how strongly each feels about their own position. It is what wars are made of except today the bullets are the harsh language of disrespect and the “put down” of the bully pulpit. For the unstable among us, there is terrorism.
From what I am able to discern from the "established" news media (even our left wing), it is discounted as containing "false presumptions, innuendo and hear say" as truth and meant to discount the involvement of the lunatics in the Muslim cult as the terrorists they are. Many good Muslim believers hold it up as evidence that "We are not terrorists -- it is all a lie of the real perpetrators, the Bush Administration". If not terrorists, who then? Of course. It must be the American government, who else?
While it is often brought up by the "fringe" political "loonies" and those who would disavow responsibility of the terrorist fanatics, the suggestion that 9/11 was anything but a terrorist act seems pure lunancy. Those who designed the World Trade Center thought it was indestructible. It wasn't. But there are those who want desperately to validate its indestructibility. After all what happened to the WTC challenged the established intelligence, consensus and practiced judgments of architects, designers and engineers. So challenged, those people do not go quietly into the good night. Their reputation depends on it.
There are threads of truth within the presentation which thus causes enough doubt to lend credibility to the presentation itself. In fact, this is true of all lunatic diversions. People who don't know or don't bother to get all of the relevant facts tend to believe that one sentence justifies all that follow. Believe me -- there was no political benefit to anyone in this country for the World Towers disaster just as there was none for the prior attacks against us (Pan Am 103, 1993 WTC bombing, Embassy bombing 1998, USS COLE -- to name a few as well as Bali, London, Madrid etc). Bill Clinton closed his eyes. George Bush did not. Yes there are those of us who want the 9/11 commission reconvened. There is some evidence that suggests that the terrorists were identified on Bill Clinton's watch and nothing was done. There are no Saints in this world today. (Even Pope John has yet to be so proclaimed)
Let's face it, there are those among us who simply do not want to accept the fact that there are others who want to destroy the world as it now is and return it to the dark ages and they are called TERRORISTS. I also believe that there is a lunatic fringe that is not Muslims who will "buy into" half baked ideas that support their own political motives or concepts for a better world. These people are not bad people they just grasp anything that will sustain their goals -- some of which I believe are partisan politics, religious, socialistic, communistic and however many other "hopes for a greater Utopia" there may be.
Everyone prefers to blame someone else for the inadequacies of the world. Heaven forbid that we should recognize that there are good and bad people in the world -- right and wrong - black and white. George Bush has done that and in so doing he has tried to get us on the right track. He has chosen not to close his eyes to the threat. I think your Toney Blair believes similarly. They are on the "hot seat" because they dare call "evil" evil. That creates a burden to those who don't want to be bothered or who would rather not "deal with it". Truth be known -- we all feel that way but there are a few of us who worry about the mess we would be in if the terrorist win -- and I believe they will if we don't do something about it now. Believe me -- I cannot subscribe to a Muslim or Islamic world.
Aren't you sorry that you asked my comments? My daughter came in and wanted to know to whom I was writing. I told her that you had asked for my comments and that I was answering. She said, "try to be calm". Ha.
Hope you have a great week. Bottom line of all that I have said is -- yes the item is professionally prepared and I believe that is an indication of how much money and commitment the bad guys of this world have against the US. Unfortunately, George Bush is the scare crow at the top. The fact that the presentation refers to the millions that were spent on prosecuting Bill Clinton for lying to a grand jury and engaging in illegal acts while fulfilling the trust of the American people leads me to conclude that distribution of this lunacy is aided by those who would attack and destroy George Bush and reflects a political bias. Now you know why I say one thread of truth does not make a paragraph or even a good sentence of truth. In case you didn't realize it, I felt as strongly against what Bill Clinton did while President as the left feels against George Bush today. Somewhere in the middle are the "moderates" who will save the world. At least we would like to hope there is.
Enough of my chatter. I know you didn't want a newspaper. Always good to hear from you and if you need further "misdirection" just ask -- as you can see I am not short on "opinion". Ha. And, in my opinion, the world in general is in a mess -- but that has been the claim of man down through time.
