  Two things

  First of all, Farhad, it would be easier to accept your voice as a "sober voice of reason" if you didn't throw around words like "million" and "billion" so much. Sloppy, sloppy. Less hyperbole would suit your case better.

  Second, if there are people who doubt the official explanation of the vents of September 11, 2001, it's because of the fact that over the last couple of decades, both the government of the U.S and the broadcast media have lost the trust of so many people in this country. They lie, spin and twist the truth constantly to fit their ends, so why should anybody believe them anymore? Hardly surprising that in the wake of Bush's dive to use the events of that awful day to further his own ends (to the extent of brushing aside any idea of actually punishing the guy who was responsible), a lot of people simply don't believe that it happened the way the government says it did.

  Me, I wasn't there. I've no particular reason to disbelieve the events as described by most people. But then again, knowing how rapacious and ugly are the people running the country at the moment, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it ever did come out that they had a hand in it. And that's got nothing to do with my ability to parse reality - it's got to do with Bush and Cheney being such self-serving, evil scum. If the White House crew want people to believe them, maybe they should think about telling the truth now and then. It might help.
