And frankly, I am not a paranoid nut job but in my mind, the jury is still out regarding how much we knew and when we knew it...how complicit we were in what happened. There's been a lot of manipulation of the information and honestly, when people aren't paying attention, it's easy for this crap to get by us. And I say that with utmost respect to those who lost family and friends in the 911 tragedy, and those who gave their lives for others. I've got a 21 year old nephew in the thick of that crap right now in Afghanistan! It pains me everyday! I support him, but I believe that the war war is, and will continue to be a drain on resources, a travesty against the sovereignty of another country and its citizens and a complete waste of time. I have questions...without answers! Who gained?? Who gained from all of it? Therein...the answer to the puzzle.
