anastasia: I agree it was a great tragedy. 3,000 people died that day. Since then, many more have died, and thousands more are sick, who worked on the Ground Zero clean-up. But add to this, 5,000+ American soldiers have died now based on what happened on 9/11. More are dying. But we've barely touched the tip of the iceberg. 6 or 7 hundred thousand Iraqis have died. Millions more are displaced and/or homeless. This is not to mention Afghanistan, nor to mention the money we've thrown into this effort, helping to sink our economy. Nor to mention the destruction of YOUR civil liberties with the passage of the Patriot Act & the Military Commissions Act.

You may prefer that I change the subject, and that is your right. But as I see it, I owe it to the victims of 9/11, to those who have died in its wake, to my countrymen, to my children & grandchildren to come, to my deceased father & ancestors, and to myself, to expose the truth about 9/11, as I see it. I would also suggest that your relatively blind acceptance of the official account is naive, although it is understandable.

This is OUR time. It is OUR world. We must answer to generations to come for what we do now, and don't do. Liberty is always under attack, in one form or another. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. While we are on this earth we have a job to do...afterwards we can hang it up & collect our wings or whatever. But while we are here, duty comes before pleasure & sometimes the case is such that doing one's duty leaves little or no room for pleasure. And THAT is why I continue to post as I do. Whether you agree with my position or not, I hope you'll be sympathetic to my intention.
