26. The theory that Iraq was involved certainly is!

In fact, the way in which the Bushies were able to convince too many people of this obvious lie is what originally made me concerned about wild 9-11 CT theories in the first place. Saddam dunnit! The only reason why the UN was against going into Iraq is because some of their members were profiting from 'Oil for Food' - yes, I saw this theory several times.

Cheney-Bush-Blairism with regard to 9-11, and Trutherism (at least in most of its forms) are in my opinion both dishonest deliberate scares.

It's no good to reject one type of dishonest CT, only to latch on to others.

The difference is that the people who promoted the first type of view were in power at the wrong time; whereas the Truthers were not. However, I have no doubt that if the latter had been, they would also have caused destructive policies. Perhaps not overseas war, but certainly domestic witch-hunts that could have rivalled McCarthyism.
