Re: RE: Is Al Qaeda Just a Bush Boogeyman?
If you are asking if the Bushies wrote the script on 9/11, my answer is no. First, I think that Bush is a moron and that others, particularly Cheney, are pulling the strings.
The Americans have been looking for a new bogey man ever since the Berlin Wall came down. Even Hollywood got into the act. As far back as the 80's they were making movies and writing books with crazed arabs as the new bad guys. Nazis got boring and communists lost their punch. Americans do seem to need their anti-[fill in the blank]. Well, it was very easy to substitute commie for Nazi and now it is just as easy to put terrorist into the slot. Fanatical Islamic terrorist really stirs the blood.
I think that the Bushies, particuularly Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz have been doing everything possible to create their new enemies. There's a certain core reality to some of it, but the Bushies have been fanning the flames and emballishing the facts with lies, lies, and more lies. It's a media circus. The reward is power, money and control of oil.
Quite simply, the attack on the WTC was a crime. Crimes are solved with good police work. That takes time and patience and perseverence. The Bushies have not been interested in solving the crime. They have been interested in controlling the world oil supply and they don't concern themselves with who they hurt in the process. Or in solving crimes.
Did the Bushies allow 9/11 to happen? Were they passively standing by? I don't think so. As always, they are incompetent. I think that a much smaller attack would have sufficed to stir up the American people. But after the attack, the Bushie spin machine went into high gear. Yes, they have created their enemy.
