"A failed and oppressive state 7,000 miles away"

Iraq? Saudi Arabia? Afghanistan? Why just say it when you can keep on clouding the picture?

    And about those hijackers

    Actually, who knows how many hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Did you know that at least six or seven of the men identified as hijackers (surprisingly quickly - on 9/12) are still alive working regular jobs around the world? At least one sued the US for defamation. Makes you wonder how many of the remaining hijackers were guilty. And if the 6 or 7 that are still alive weren't part of the attack, who was? My guess is that they weren't Iraqi either.

    For readers who think I'm insane, do a little googling. It's not a secret that these men are alive - it's just not reported.
