Guys...i'll tell you how
I dont know if we did or didnt.
Think globaly. The muslim population is growing at an unbelieveable rate. 900 churches have recently converted to mosques in europe.
Now, if the US sits back....in 50 years, the muslim population will be enourmous. Aside from numbers and political power, they will also have weapons. The US has made war very expensive so that only they can afford to fight in one....but now, with chem\bio weapons being improved and perfected, the price of war is back down to a financial level that any country can afford.
Now, we would never have gotten any support to invade iraq if it were not for 9/11. The public would have never supported it. We were too interested in our own lives.
If they knew about 9/11.....and prevented it.....in 50 years, we could have been challenged by the muslims.
Allowing it to happen, enraged the public....and they thought that we could get worldwinde support to invade iraq (the first of many wars against muslim countries)
If you read my recent posts, you'll noticed that i have mentioned two government reports. "A project for a New American Century" & "Rebuilding Americas Defences"
PNAC written by Wolfowitz, cheney, rumsfeld, pearle, kagen, etc was written in the 90's. It was about the importance of dominating the mid east to preserve PAX AMERICANA (peace in america)
Wolfowitz has been trying to attack iraq for years but has been unable to convince the presidents of the past.
9/11 gave us the will to attack the mid east, and establish dominance in the region.
Here....is your motive.
I know its sick and difficult to believe....but remember that power and money corrupts everyone to no limits. And people controling the most powerful and richest country in the world....are the most vulnerable.
