This is sort of an inside reference that only myself, Mike and LIM will get, but in the last day the three of us have been engaged in a heated discussion with two left-leaning individuals who think we're fools for not believing that George Bush intentionally caused 9/11, in order to appease, alternatively, the "corporations", or the military industrial complex neocon hawks, or (everyone's favorite punching bags) the Jews.
And another guy there, who I thought was something of a more moderate (if firmly liberal) person, only thinks Bush didn't cause it because he's too stupid to carry it off. Not because Bush is just nowhere near that evil and sociopathic an individual, just that he's too much of an idiot to accomplish such a feat.
When the well is THAT poisoned - that a disturbing number of people on one side of the political aisle are so full of irrational hatred that they're willing and EAGER to believe that our own government carried out the worst terrorist action in recent memory (and, in fact, NEED to believe it in order to justify that only their ideology has merit in our society), then no, I don't know if any sort of manageable reconciliation is achievable. Not in this generation at least.
) the US gov is at least responsible for firefighters and other people who tried to help on 9/11 not getting payment for adequate treatment for the their lung problems which have been caused by asbestos and a mixture of other toxic stuff that has been used in the towers through denying that those have ever been used in those buildings.
