9/11: “A distant view” revisited
Submitted by jswami on September 11, 2008 - 10:03pmThree years ago, I published here the article A Distant View of 9/11. Its theme, in brief, was that when freedom-hating Islamic terrorists struck on 9/11/2001 and the armies of American democracy struck back, the events rolled out in patterns so exquisitely neat and familiar as to suggest that the entire show had likely been scripted and staged by powerful hands within (and beyond) the United States government itself.
Oh, paranoid conspiracy theories!

“The policy of wise rulers has always been to disguise strong acts under popular forms.”
Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
