Reply #11: I'm not giving you a brush off.

If you read the paper, you may have noted that the plan to bomb Afghanistan was formed in 1998. Because it didn't happen at the exact time -- because bin Laden had "disappeared" -- does not mean the plan was discarded. If you are interested in reading more, please read the book by Bodansky, and then we'll talk.

I'd note that I believe there are other possibilities as to why Bush sat like a bump on a log on 9-11. You are convinced that iot could only be because he was a part of the attack. I accord you the right to that belief. I think it reflects a narrow way of thinking.

My paper in no way is an excuse for bush. I merely believe that he is guilty of things that are different than you do in regard to 9-11. Yet if we reviewed every other attribute about him or his administration, we would probably agree on 99%. I view this administration as fascist. But I don't believe they are in control of all events on earth.

*** on edit: I do mean it when I say thanks. I'm not concerned if you feel very differently about 9-11. I think you're wrong, but that's not an attempt to insult you.
