WHO FUNDED 9 11 ?

[Mortui]

IF a person or state hires an assasin and funds the enterprise who is to blame? Is it the killer or the ones that facilitated the murder? As we go off into the future the past is left behind and fogotten. What's worse is no one has ever asked this simple question. Simple answers to complex matters are always key.

Sure with the war on terror emotions run high. Sure the mind becomes clouded during the fog of war- and sure logic is for the most part put aside, sometimes with intent and sometimes though the failings of human nature and mind. Why are we in Afgahnistan? The answer by most is the fact that there were training centres that housed terrorists that were supposedly out to harm the USA.

The reason for the invasion (not war) in Iraq is the supposed stock pile of weapons of mass destruction that were supposedly about to be used to harm America and American empiral intrests in the Middle East. Of course this was a ruse as we now know that the CIA and other intelligence bodies gave the Bush administration reports to the contrary prior the invasion.

Afghanistan is a primitive and backward nation that on it's own is of absoulutely no threat to Canada or the USA. So why are we wasting our time, our lives and our hard earned tax dollars there? It was Saudi Arabian funding that established the training centres in Afghanistan. No one dares to go near that issue. It was this same cruel,spoiled and barbaric Kingdom that spawned Bin Laden who supposedly was resonsible for the raid on New York that resulted in the begining of the "war on terror" - that has now become a buisness and a way of generating fear and loss of personal control of mind for millions of westerners.

Both of them are guilty. The instigator and the killer.

Do you presume to say that Al Qaeda, the terrorist group behind the 9/11 attacks, isn't anti-American? That somehow, after they have committed acts of terrorism they don't mean harm to hte USA?

The reason for the invasion of Iraq was weapons of mass destruction that were reported to be there. America has no empirical interests in the Middle East. In my opinion, we went there to finish the job that Bush senior didn't. This is supported by the fact that we had intelligence that proved there weren't WMD's in Iraq.

Afghanistan may be backwards by worldly standards, but they are hardly inconsequential. To say that Al Qaeda and the Taliban posed no threat to the United States is woefully ignorant(see 9/11). It was actually the United States that gave Osama bin Laden power. During the Cold War. http://www.emperors-clothes.com/articles/jared/madein.htm

For that matter, the United States also helped Saddam take power. http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/issue...1963cialist.htm

So could someone tell me why - now that they can speak freely as the Bush administration finishes it's tenure...why no one has ever investigated who is personally responsible for what was some strange adventure for the bored and spoiled elite that run Saudi Arabia - the killing of American civilians for mere sport? I believe that there are those in America who know exactly what individual or group sat down and started cutting cheques to project their killing will on a civilian population thousands of miles away that was of no threat to them.

Did you really just suggest that the Bush Administration suppressed free speach? Hell, if it did that, why do we have so much anti-Iraq and anti-Bush stuff going around? If there hasn't been adequate investigation of Saudi Arabians, it's because they control our oil. We don't want to piss them off. When did they kill American civilians for sport?

And you're right, there are many in America know that it was Al Qaeda and other haters of America(ns) that sat down and started 'cutting cheques'(I assume you mean writing checks?) to harm America(ns) that is/are the polar opposites of all of their ideals, that go against everything they had been taught in life. And the US can be considered a threat to any government promoting mass murder of its citizens, harsh restrictions of personal liberties, and inhumane treatment of people.
