Thanks, Franta.

I'd be more inclined to believe September 11th was a government conspiracy if they just blew up a post office, or a government building like the one Tim McVeigh blew up in 1995, in Oklahoma City.
But blowing up the center of commerce in the free world is just way too big to have been planned or tolerated as a way to rally the nation to war by letting it happen.

And the country STILL isn't unified in the resolve that this war in Afghanistan, and possibly other parts of the Middle East, is necessary.

I wonder if any Americans in December 1941 were saying "Gee, maybe the Imperial Japanese are RIGHT..."

What kind of utter dickheads can say that, in a nation that's suffered such a devastating unprovoked attack, especially when our nation so clearly stands for peace and stability in the world?

And yet incredibly, there actually are sympathetic leftists who say these absurd things. How about some appropriate sympathy for the people of your own homeland, who suffered the attack and the deep economic repercussions?

It scares me, the lack of will to defend the United States, by some of its citizens, despite the clear rightness of our actions, and the clear source of the threat.
It just makes me groan with contempt every time I hear some liberal use the phrase "American imperialism".
You could accuse any prosperous nation in the world with international trade of "imperialism", which to the enemies of America (within and without) means that America has a successful economy, as compared to any given less-prosperous nation who does trade with the U.S. that is not prospering economically. And therefore it MUST be America's fault that the other nation is not prospering, right?
That's very convenient for those who dislike and want to rationalize an attack on America.

I blame bureaucracy, not internal conspiracy, for what happened on September 11th.

And I blame the nations who attack America for NOT blaming their own nations, leaders, government corruption, and repressive cultures, for the misery of their nations. I blame them for their eagerness to attack another nation, rather than look for real solutions in their own nations, making a scapegoat of America, that does nothing to improve their situation.
