Lots of conspiracy stuff out there on the web...Do you think Bush, Cheney & / or Rove had anything to do with the 9/11 tragedies...? I'm convinced they needed "a Pearl Harbor like event" in order to shock America into a pre-emptive war against Iraq (a country that posed no serious threat to the United States). It's important to separate the agenda from the wrapping around it. -s2@IhaveNotEvenMentionedHowThe2004ElectionMayhaveBeenHijacked.com

<<...What unites Left and Right? It is partly a common realization that “chasing monsters abroad” is a costly business unless absolutely necessary. The growth of Empire subsumes a democratic republic. But more than that, Left and Right have the unfettered ability to explore the truth without the spin that comes with being in power. The truth is that we were deceived into going to war. The truth is that there is no exit strategy. The truth is that we are running out of troops. The truth is that Americans are giving up their sons and daughters (over 300 young women dead in Iraq) for a mistake. The truth is that we are stealing from our children’s future by a war based on deficits. The truth is that we have squandered our reputation. The truth is that we have been lied to, or in the doublespeak of General Myers, the pre-war “intelligence” didn’t “mean something is true.” It’s hard to recognize, much less say these things, when you are in power. The Left brings a massive constituency led by a Democratic Party too nervous to speak of peace. The Right brings a massive constituency concerned about neo-conservatives hijacking the conservative cause. Together a Left-Right informal alliance represents a bipartisan majority that can return politics to the homefront...>> huffingtonpost.com
