Great op-ed by Dennis Prager on conspiracy mania in America. Some of you here definitely need to read it - and, consider it with an open mind...

Likewise, given the vast amount of planning and implementation -- and the large number of people -- that would have been involved in arranging the 9/11 destruction of the World Trade Center towers and part of the Pentagon, not one person has come forward -- not one American or foreigner, not one leftist or rightist -- to reveal a U.S. government plot to murder thousands of Americans and bring down two of the tallest buildings in the world.

There are at least six major reasons:

Before I read any further from the writer (who is obviously deceived) I ask that he answers the question of: how and why did bldg#7 fall?...

Its a simple question that MUST be answered..

Would it really take say 15,725 people working in cahoots to pull it off? One only has to read a few Ludlum books to realise how alibis and cover stories et al can be expertly manipulated within the covert industries of the world. Granted, these are sold as fictionalised events but isn't that a ploy to avoid being sued?

At the other end of the conspiracy spectrum is the claim there was absolutely nothing untoward in any of the responses nor in the official reportings. A belief in the possibility of a terrorism act is all that's needed now to shoot first, ask questions later. And that's a dramatic, arguably realistic, shift in US public policy. The old need for evidence, court rulings on innocence, normal imprisonment processes...is just so passe these days...when it comes to terrorism.

But isn't someone's conspiracy another's committee decision? And isn't the USA damned if it does and damned if it doesn't...protest too much....at conspiracy claims. As if the USA would ever admit to that level of 'error' or internal security weakness that enabled it to happen...if it did.

Just popped in for a visit. hope you guys are all well.

HI Redback--good to see you again. I've missed you.

I confess I am sick to death of conspiracy theories. Whatever happened, whatever the issue, conspiracy theories only seriously cloud the issue while at the same time deflecting responsibility. They paint a picture of a polulace which is helpless and hopeles, at the mercy of some mega organization with purely evil intent. Sounds to me like a Star Wars movie.

peace and love,

Absolutely. Conspiracy is the action of two or more people working together to develop a plan of action in order to reach a desire goal or objective.

People so often get an exaggerated sense of their own importance once they abandon any thought to a good and great God. We can see the results daily of those who left Christ far behind and the world begins to sink into their souls. Presumption and assumption about the future is sort of a religion to both the far left and far right. I do believe that the far right is more dangerous in our times, because they believe God is behind their nonsense. The far left react like crazed souls backed into a corner, and they just flail away with little regard for logic or reason because they seem totally lost in the dark of agnostic hopelessness.

i am just an oldtimer for the Lord.

I've missed your reflective thoughts. Would you believe I have never watched any of those sci fi Star Wars etc genre nor any such books. Fair dinkum! I'm sure the main reason I can't keep pace with the language used here is that Scotty hasn't yet beamed me up to where all you guys incl Pink, dwell. ABC
