Ohhhhhhhhhh, nooooooooooooo!
Are you related to Charlie Sheen or Cindy Sheehan? Both believe the U.S. government orchestrated 9/11 and installed the necessary explosives to demolish the World Trade Center. I mean, for a democrat, this premise isn't too far off of the beaten path, but still...
You do drive an X5, don't you?
Are you going to tell me the U.S. started a war to help increase defense contractors bottom lines?
Forgive me, but I cannot interpret your statement as anything other than you are implying the U.S. government deliberately attacked itself so as to justify a war expenditure.
If this is your stance, then it correlates perfectly with the fact that you are a Democrat.
