This 'Open democracy' site needs to get real and wake up to the fact that 9/11 was in inside job (or at the very least the govt. was complicit). Considering the amount of evidence for this, I'm still constantly surpised at the number of people who still believe all that '1984-style' propoganda the Whitehouse/'Independant' media constantly excrete. "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have" - Richard Salant, former President of CBS News. "The truth is so often the reverse of what has been told us by our culture that we cannot turn our heads far enough around to see it." - Howard Zinn. "Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Goerring
