Which one of these is more "horrific" and/or bad?

Al-Qaeda or Muslim Extremists were responsible for 9/11.

Our government was responsible for 9/11.

Personally I would think it is the latter. Our government is supposed to be something we can TRUST. So that doesn't make me feel better about the situation... Not that Muslims/Jihadists or whatever is Good... It is, however, something you'd be more likely to expect. Not a betrayal on this level.

And as for ignoring science?

I already know you haven't watched even 5 minutes of either of the videos posted here.

Feelings? I was a Bush fan and supporter back then. Nope.. Can't have those taxing baby killers in the White House, gotta defend our country from terrorists. Yet, our tax money goes to defense contractors, fighting a perpetual war against an enemy with no country, or was it because WMD's were "found", or did the terrorist train in those countries? Or are they CIA assets?

So in this way my feelings are hurt. I used to take the term "Neo-Con" a bit personally -since it seemed like a snide remark, especially given the tone it was always used in. But I can still have conservative values and not promote/uphold defense spending, sending troops to occupy lands we really have no BUSINESS being in (and where they can be killed or maimed)... Although (the U.S. Government) may have INTERESTS -if those countries have some resource that could be obtained. I used to get angry when anyone would say we went to war for Oil. But seeing as how those in office are funded by companies/contractors that are in the business of Oil or what-have-you ....it really makes you wonder. The whole "terrorist" idea starts to look like a convenient excuse.

If we were fighting to end terrorism, to bring "democracy" to these lands we're occupying - then that would be great. I will always support our men in uniform as well as the women in uniform. (GOR

) They're only following orders, believing the things those who order/command them -tell them. But we have no business going to war unless it's to defend ourselves.

Again, how convenient that 9/11 was said to be an act of war. So are we really defending ourselves by going after those that are (allegedly) responsible? Where does it end?
