So what you're saying is that 9/11 was planned and executed by the American government.

9/11 might not've been executed by an American government (there is never any shortage of nutters ready for suicide missions), but it was planned cunningly in tune with the musings of Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski who outlined in detal American Geostrategic Imperatives in his book "THE GRAND CHESSBOARD. American Primacy and Its -. Geostrategic Imperatives."

Among other things, he wrote:

"The attitude of the American public toward the external projection of American power has been much more ambivalent. The public supported America's engagement in World War II largely because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.” (pp 24-5)

"It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being." (p.35)

"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat." (p. 211)

Did 9/11 give you a sense of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat to your domestic well-being, and provided your power elites with much needed popular passion and consensus on foreign policy issue such as invasion of Afghanistan?

Well, you tell me, in whose interests was a murder of 3000 nobodies in order to gain Afghanistan (see my previous post: 1-3)?
