You certainly are operating from the most popular point of view.

If I disagree with you, I am tossed in the basket with all sorts of unpatriotic malcontents that just can't get the truth straightened out in their minds.
.
The way I see things, the World Trade Center had a symbolic value to those people who saw themselves as being victimized by the multinationals. They saw a connection between America's military/industrial complex and their troubles in their homelands. To them it was as though, if it were you, the communist empire had teamed up with some military force to over throw your world. So, they surely believed that they had more than enough cause to attack the WTC and the Pentagon.
.
The American people were put in a place where we had to either agree with them that they were being mistreated or in which we could retaliate against them. We were between a rock and a hard place. Naturally we had to retaliate--we had no choice at that level.
.
Once again, we have to consider if we both aren't victims in our own way.
.
I don't know about Timothy McVeigh. I guess he acted from his understanding of truth in a terrible way. We have to be careful of the choices we make as the wrong one can take us down a long dark alley that ends with tragic consequences.
.
Life is far too complex for you and me to make choices based on the knowledge we are allowed to inspect at our levels.
.
We are just plain stupid if we don't know that things are going on back stage. I'm not privy to that and neither are you.
.
But, I can tell you that there is more than a slight smell coming through the curtains to let us know that there is something very rotten going on back there. And, I absolutely do not believe our leadership. I think they think we are expendable as pawns in their game to rule the world. The best way to describe them is with all the worst four letter words you can think of.
.
Sad to say.
