Well, while you refuse to accept that I've correctly interpreted your opinion, the above off the wall question appears in context to imply that the terrorists attacked the WTC because we aided Saddam in his war with Iran. Of course, my comment is not off the wall. Its symptomatic of how this country interferes in the affairs of other countries. Of course, if they did the same to us, you guys would go ballistic......but because its us directing the affairs of others you are quite comfortable with that role and quite naively, see no correlation between that behind-the-scenes manipulation and 9/11. That's why neocons should not be in charge.Hey, I doubt it, but I don't see the relevance of the question, since what we did in the '80's believing we were helping to maintain some balance in the region, is quite irrelevant to the WTC attacks, no? Of course, not "no". For every action there is a consequence.......and helping Saddam was not our only interference. It was only the tip of the iceberg. BTW re. the balancing act who died and made us king? Or are you suggesting that there are indeed some links of interest between Iraq and Al Qaeda that I am unaware of? You're funny. Not very clever but funny.By the by, your reply concerning Patty Hearst revealed you didn't get the analogy at all. Patty was kidnapped and brainwashed into helping criminals. Yes, there is a correlation. You may be amazed that I'm "thinking at this level," but I'm amazed that by denying a "correlation," you show you didn't understand at all. How do you see yourself being brainwashed?
