Re: It's possible for 19 hopelessly incompetent Arabs to pull it off
You may well ask how most Americans believe that one? But they do -- and that's a fact.
I'm afraid it's more complicated than that... Granted, a sizable segment of public opinion did buy the official bunk hook, line and sinker. Yet another section --mostly the educated middle class-- doesn't believe the official theory so much as it represses any dissenting conspiracy. Repression, in the psychological sense, is of the essence --much as in the case of a cuckolded husband... US opinion, somehow, is the cuckold who is married to the US government. Of course, he "knows" that his wife has an affair with somebody... yet, he can't prove it --only circumstancial clues prompted him to suspect his wife's infidelity. But then, he just represses the whole thing, even tough a faint little voice in the back of his brains keep nudging him into facing the truth. However, it'd be much too painful, too messy to confront his wife... If only because she owns the house... and the money. What's best --or worst: be a cuckold living off his wife's money or a bankrupt, middle-aged divorcé slumming it in a trailer? Americans have already answered.
