Isn't there some way to blame this all on Carter or maybe Kennedy?


Ah, no.  Let's blame it all on Bush instead.  Just easier, plus we obviously don't like him as much.  Plus, we need someone to blame, right?  It has to be someone's fault.


How 'bout blaming it on the terrorists?

Do you think Bush could possibly have sold us on the Iraq war if 9/11 hadn't happened?

FDR:


So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory.


Sound words,especially today/


I keep that quote on my bulletin board, actually.

Good point, LD. No getting around it, that was wrong.

I'm no expert, NG, but I have read about Christians in Nigeria being persecuted for not submitting to Islam, so I think it's reality in at least some places.

Same here, but I know for a fact that, around 6/8 months ago, 60 Muslims were murdered by Christians in Nigeria, in an act of religious persecution.

Providing Lucky doesn't move to Nigeria, it should pan out fine.

Same thing happens in Pakistan. Christians are murdered that is !
Never hear a complaint out of the multiculturalist industry in the UK.
They just tell us not to upset Muslims in the UK. ie dont hurt their feelings . especially when police investigations are carried out trying to find any MORE terrorist cells here.

By the way memory tells me that a lot of Christians were murdered in the Lebanon a few years back. As I recall the UN forces (lol) mainly Dutch stood by and did nothing.

The same happened in Turkey (and in many other places where anti-religious genocides against other faiths occurred): the genocide on the christian Armenians. This is not to say that another religion is to blame, as they are merely puppets that are being played by anti-religious puppet masters.

Of course there are countless consipracy theories that Hitler either organised the attack himself, or stood idle when  the communists carried it out.
Most historians conclude that, while it is impossible to prove absolutely who orcestrated the attack, the fact that the Nazis used it so affectivly to put their own plans into action must make them, at least, acomplishes after the act

We want our governments to be in full control and to protect us so when a tragic event does happen it is, perversly, more comforting to think that the government must have allowed it,rather than admitting the possibilty that the government were powerless to prevent it

Really! Thanks for the expert advice. In my naivety I thought that knowing what the discussion was about, and having a general idea of how conversations progress, one might be able to follow the discussion (especially if the whole thing is viewable with a flick of the mouse) But I suppose you are right and in order to make things easier for everyone to understand I will follow your advice in the future

anything is a legitimate target in a false flag operation.

False flag ops are sure fire methods to get the people in any country to go to war against who ever is claimed to be the bad guys.

Its called the hegelian dialectic

you know if you want to suppress christians you have to start your own city on fire and claim christians did it.  it has worked since the begining of time.


yeh one tends to get conspiracy theories when everyone of the witnesses, firemen, emt's claim bombs were going off all over and the government makes no mention of it in their investigative report.   you tend to get them when demolition experts claim the builoding fell as a result of a professional job.  you tend to get them when cnn and the bbc broadcast a building has collapsed 15 minutes prior to the actual event  and you can see it in the background still standing.   you tend to get it with aiplanes that can go through steeel buildings with no nose damage as seen here.

The New Bunker Busting 767!


That is the point where a theory becomes a reality and is a conspiracy.

The governemnt has their own conspiracy theory, the 19 hijackers remember?

To the contrary it is more perversly comforting for people to think that "the government would never do such a thing to their people".

If you do not want to live in fear of your government you convince yourself of such.  I mean after all waco wasnt the government, neither was murrah with all that unexploded military ordinance that had to be removed.

Well,....not every politician.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/14/AR2007091402451.html?nav=rss_politics

Clinton,for all his faults,tried to fix problems.Rather then" fix" the data,or produce photo ops,claiming to have fixed problems,like the current administration does.




The reference was to US presidents using violence overseas, not about former employees writing memoirs.

Do you really believe that all those people needlessly killed in Somalia, Bosnia, etc, were part of a 'fix', instead of a politician's powermongering?

I honestly don't know. Without 9/11, though, I think he'd have had a much harder time getting Congress to go along.
