Thousands of innocent people died on Sept 11, 2001. Most died quickly, mercifully. But some I suspect died slowly and horribly. As human beings it seems to be in our nature to ponder how devastating events of this nature could be allowed happen. Why? We ask ourselves. SOMEONE MUST HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE, we end up asking ourselves. We fool ourselves into thinking that if we could just answer all the HOWs and WHYs that somehow this horrible event will be become more fathomable to our traumatized psyches.
Considering the unfathomables, I would agree with those who believe it is premature to even suggest that Cheney was involved. Personally, I think it's absurd, despite the fact that I don't trust him. Blissfully ignorant as I may be, I remain unconvinced that an additional conspiracy had to have been involved other than by Al Qa'ida's doing. And while I'm on the "WHO DID IT" rant I doubt Al Qa'ida needed assistance from us, no matter how convert or underhanded such "assistance" it has been speculated may have been. For me it comes down to the notion that I see no personal benefit in entertaining myself in highly charged and intriguing emotional scenarios where I must believe (or at least suspect) that a diabolical conspiracy had been concocted by what must have been a secret cabal from within our own country whose objective it has been speculated was to bring down several NY buildings (and unfortunately murder several thousand human beings - as unavoidable collateral damage) all in order whip up sufficient U.S. public sentiment so that we would be willing to wage war against all those oil rich evil anti-Christian nations of the east, presumably so that eventually we (the good guys) can establish some kind of Judeo-Christian Western Style Global Order through out the entire planet. Let me be clear on one point: I think very little of the current presidential administration, particularly how this administration duped itself into believing that it could win a cost-effective war to be paid by Iraqi oil revenues, and in the process initiate "regime change" to boot! Bush once scrawled on a piece of paper the words "Let Freedom Ring!" as he handed the note back to Malaki when the Iraqi PM officially informed Bush that his country had just become solvent. Bush's words, no doubt intended to instill inspiration, pretty much sums up just how ignorant and naive this administration has been through out this entire debacle. But alas, there are people who need to believe that some nefarious aspect of the current administration was capable of orchestrating and pulling off one of the most sophisticated conspiracies in recorded history. For me, Occam's Razor suggests a less glamorous conclusion. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
