Creative Speculation

9-11 was totally predictable. Many people who were paying attention before 9-11 knew there was a high likelihood we would be struck with a major terrorist.

Nothing's changed. Our immoral foreign policy remains. Terrorist revenge attacks are self-fulfilling prophesies.

It's all essentially a scam, even if some of the perpetrators are too stupid to know it. We bully them and they take revenge, and then we use their revenge attacks as justification to bully them even more. A few rich folks get even richer in this process, and they're too stupid to care about all of the people they have harmed.

It's no coincidence that HW Bush decided to attack Iraq just as the Cold War had ended. The right-wing needs their enemies. Many of among the American public fell for the scam.

All of that anti-science truther stuff is just a distraction from what's really going on in the world.
