Who Is More Apt To Be Right? The 50+% That Think Iraq Had WMD or......

[global1]

the 36% that don't believe the official 9/11 story?

1. That really isn't an answerable question

There is, first of all, no way of knowing who is "right." More likely to be right? How do you determine such likelihood? On the surface, one could easily argue "majority rule." But we know society doesn't work that way...the majority can be duped, massively, as history has taught us over and over. One could also argue that the 36% are more zealous researcher who rely on more than official government press releases. You'd be right in both cases. And wrong. There simply is no way of knowing, unfortunately. I'm sure BushCo is working diligently to make sure the truth is never known.

2. ..

Well we know for sure that the 50% who believe WMD's were found in Iraq are wrong. Bush has even admitted this.

As far as the 9/11 conspiracy there are still unanswered questions. For the most part those 36% who believe in a conspiracy theory are thinking people. I believe we may never know the answers. Just like the JFK incident. But that does not mean their was a conspiracy involved.

3. It ISN'T right that Iraq had the WMDs that Bush claimed they did

whether you believe it or not, so that's a moot issue. As for 9/11, we don't have enough of the facts to know either way, because the Bush monarchy has moved heaven and earth to conceal them. So I have to say that the 9/11 crowd is more "apt" to be right simply because the POTENTIAL for them to be right is still there.

4. Well, since we "know", that is, have negative proof

that Iraq did not have WMD, I guess the 35% is right.

5. Thank you for these brilliant choices.

They are not manipulative at all.

6. I'm Sorry For The Manipulation But I Received An E-Mail From A.....

friend that indicated that Leno was making a comment that 36% of the American people don't believe the official story. I don't know if he brought this up in a serious way or if he was setting up for a joke. I reacted adversely to this - knowing Leno - he was trying to make fun of us that don't believe the official story. That is what prompted the manipulative question. Sorry.

7. To determine the truth has nothing to do with what people believe

To determine the truth about an event such as the WMD in Iraq has nothing to do with what people initially believe or think. At one point in our history many people thought the world was flat. As children many of us with christen up bringing believed in Santa Claus. Belief did not make it so.

Verifying truth with something that is verifiable, such as the WMD in Iraq, can be, and as was the case with the WMD, accomplished from researching the available data by reputable individuals from around the world and then publication of those findings. What people believe is then potentially altered based on those findings, should they take the time to read the publications and adjust their thinking accordingly.

The term “conspiracy theory” often gets subjected to a bad rap. And frequently does so when attempts are made to cover up something sinister and is done so as a way to chase people away from seeking truth --nobody wants to be perceived as a nut case.

It is best to frame the phrasing "conspiracy theories” in its proper perspective. It is another way of saying “hypotheses with collaborators” or “supposition with accomplices”.

The government’s official accounting for 9/11 is equally a “conspiracy theory” as are the opposing theories that have been surfacing. During the investigation of a crime a variety of theories or hypotheses are typically offered up and collaborated against the supporting evidence. This is a natural process toward discovering how an crime occurred. A theory becomes a conspiracy when several individuals are suspected to be involved in the crime. "The true test of a conspiracy theory is whether it can withstand the test of scrutiny and is supportable by the evidence".

A "conspiracy theory" is no longer a theory once it is proved. To date, this has not occurred with any of the theories presented regarding 9-11 whether it is the one offered by the government or anyone else. What seems to be occurring with 911, is the more the "official story" is subjected to the test of serious scrutiny, the less supportable it is by the evidence.
