So many good points, Juan, Delalluvia and Little. So many. I'm not going to quote them all, because I would have to copy and paste everything. But I agree with most all of what you say. Jeez, you guys are convincing.
I think that's an extremely good point about making a really superb documentary. Gosh, I hope they do that, anyway.
And yes, I shouldn't dip into Bush-blame for 9/11. I actually don't believe that he could have stopped them. My supervisor here at university is a specialist in the history of espionage, and he is constantly reminding me that the systemic problems of intelligence services is that they have to deal with such a vast ammount of 'noise', or innocuous information, with tiny, microscopic information about real threats mixed in with an avalanche of rubbish. It is very, very hard to get it right all the time. Unfortunately, when it goes wrong, it tends to be pretty noticeable.
Nor do I believe that Clinton was responsible. Or to put it another way, they're all responsible, a steady blindfold put on about how the U.S. and British governments have been screwing around in the Middle East for over a century. The roots are deep.
Anyway, I find all of what you guys said extremely, extremely interesting. Gosh, it's lovely when you can mull this stuff over aloud, isn't it? And Littledarlin, I never thought that you were being argumentative. You've been so calm and well-reasoned. It was me I was talking about. (It's all about me, right?) I didn't want to give the impression that I was angry or challenging you, because I really respect what you have to say. I wish we had a font for that. Plus one for sarcasm.
