Anyone who does not realize this has got to be very naive! BTW, don't forget that the US stifled all early attempts by many parties to investigate 9/11, and it took a really long time before the US government issued its official report on the event. What is troubling is that many parts of the report are at variance with the known facts. Some academics/scientists/engineers have examined the facts and concluded that the government version of 9/11 is inconsistent with the facts in many places. Do a google on 9/11 and you see many interesting things, if you dare! According to German intelligence which heretofore has not been refuted and disproven, Mossad agents helped the 9/11 attackers. And, it is believed that the US government had a hand in it, too! Incredible? Not really! You see, the US needed a "Pearl Harbor" event to galvanize the entire nation in support of the the war against the Muslims (Bush's War on Terror), and 9/11 was just that much needed event. Today, when history is largely absent from the school curriculum, many people are ignorant of what the colonizing western powers did to less advanced or primitive countries in the past. How many here realize that the Middle East was arbitrarily carved up by European powers, notably Great Britain and France, into what it is today soon after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire ca. 1919? How many here knew that Muslims were manipulated and their oil wealth exploited, big-time, by the colonizing powers? How many knew that Muslims were treated like shit and that Churchill even bombed and killed very many Kurds with poison gas? In light of this history, I am not surprised that many Muslims in general harbour a hatred against the West, even if only subconsciously. Regardless of whether this is justified or not, I believe some folks will begin to understand something. By the way recall this: the Brits and Americans toppled the Iranian Prime Minister, Mossadegh, with much ensuing violence, in the 1950s, for his "sin" of asking the western oil companies in Iran to part with a little bit more of their oil profits for the sake of improving the human condition of the Iranians! Another question: How many here know about the history of the formation of Israel? The land grabs? The use of disproportionate force calculated to terrorise Muslims into submission? All this with the tacit consent of the self-appointed judge and jury and policeman of the world --- the US for whom might is right most of the time? What we hear in the subservient government media today is that Muslims are rabid fanatics and subhumans guilty of all manner of atrocities and therefore they deserve to be wiped out. Like it or not, I believe some of the reported Muslim terrorism were "created" or manufactured/contrived in order to influence and rally public reaction against the Muslims, and that there will be such contrived Muslim terrorism in the run up to the mid-term elections this November to scare unsuspecting Americans shitless into voting for Bush and his buddies. .
