(9,463 posts)...you're entitled to your opinion, just as I am. However, your appeal to think of the families does not touch me in the least. The families don't even believe the official story.
With regard to why they wouldn't just blow up the buildings, etc... I don't care about all of that. What I care about is what I saw as it unfolded and what I saw in the days, weeks, months, and years after that day. My opinion is also built upon the recordings I can go back to time and time again; I can see what was said and done that day and see how it differs from the 9/11 replays we get each anniversary now. I also don't play the "it's going to make the families suffer even more" deflection and the attempts to use that as a way to shut down the conversation.
While it may not make any sense to you, it does to me. Also, you haven't seen me "go on about controlled demolition". What I said was it is dangerous to talk like that but that the buildings (including WTC 7) came down symmetrically, nice and neat.
I really don't care about any of the arguments that support the official story or anyone's concerns that one of the family members may randomly run across my words here and "suffer even more" for it. What I care about is seeing that the people who planned and executed the events of 9/11 are held to account.
I stand by my words: rogue elements of the bush administration played a significant role in the events of 9/11. And it got them what they wanted: a "new Pearl Harbor" on which to declare war on terrorism and justify their Neocon plans laid out in the PNAC white papers.
