The idea that a Government would attack its own people in order to gain power is not something that is new. Governments throughout history has used disasters to create fear and panic in their countries to gain greater power and control over their populations. The Nazi party burned down the Richstag(the german government building) blaming it on the Jews/communists and calling it an act of terrorism. In order to "protect" the people of Germany, new laws were passed that obliterated freedoms and inflicted heavy punishments on those who refused to follow them. Also, in order to get people to favor a war with Poland, Germany took political prisoners to the Polish border, dressed them up like Polish soldiers and shot them dead. They took pictures and put them out into the press, saying that Poland had tried to invade Germany and that they must retaliate. And of course, the people jumped onto the war wagon, all because the Government lied in order to gain more.
It is not a coincidence that the US government had the Patriot act ready to sign DAYS later after 9/11. The US Patriot act is said to protect the people of the US. But has anyone actually read it? All it does is increase the powers of the government and SEVERELY limit the freedoms of the people of the US. Many similar documents like the Military Commissions Act of 2007 are even worse. That one completely destroys the rights of Habeus Corpus, which is one of the rights in the BIll of Rights. While these powers of the Patriot Act and others haven't been used to there fullest extent, all it would take is another act of "terrorism" in this country to push them to their full powers, completely wiping out the Bill of Rights.
Bush did not knock down the towers, but I think that elements of the US Government did. Nothing will ever change what I think.
The war in Iraq is exactly like the one that was fought in Vietnam. It is not being fought to be won. You cannot win when you cannot clearly say who the enemy is. When the enemy can be a woman carrying a grenade or a young boy with a machine gun, you cannot win. Its a guerrilla war. This war, along with Vietnam, is being fought to be maintained, to continue. To be prolonged as long as possible. The reasons why..... the involved the monetary powers of the US but most people wouldn't believe me.
"Its conspiracy"
"Its crazy"
"You're crazy."
Those are the reactions.
