* MORE BRUTAL AND RANDOM *

*An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind. Mahatma
Gandhi*.
In 1253, when French ambassador William of Rubruck arrived
at the court of the
Mongol warlord at Karakorum, he was struck by the elaborate
security precautions.
This was because the mighty Khan had heard that no less
than 40 assassins in
various disguises from the Middle East had been sent to
assassinate him.
In response, the Khan sent one of his brothers with an army
to the 'land of
assassins' and ordered him to kill them. Hulegu destroyed
the assassin bases in
Persia and Baybars in Syria.
Today, the situation in Washington is similar to Karakorum
except that the new
millennium assassins, relying on their will to die and
simple box-cutters, and with
many still at large, have created for the first time an
abiding aura of terror in
American history. It was not Pearl Harbour in 1941, but it
is September 11, 2001,
which has actually stunned the US.
Millions of Muslims live in France, Germany, UK and the US.
Some have suffered
the backlash, which can be deadly and self-perpetuating.
Jehad and crusades have
gone on since Islam's birth in the 7th century. But this
jehad is universal, it includes
Hindus and others. It might end in terrible damage to human
civilisation itself.
Although Europeans had heard of early assassins through
crusaders and travelers,
they could put together the story only in the 19th century.
Not many crusaders were
victims, the first being Conrad, King of the Latin kingdom
of Jerusalem. Marco Polo,
who passed through Persia in 1273, mentioned the fortress
in the Alamut valley
near the Caspian headquarters of a sect. Enclosed between
two mountains, it was
like a paradise with gardens of beautiful flowers and fruit
trees, streams of water,
honey and wine. Beautiful women sang, danced and
entertained the guests. When
the Alamut Sheikh wanted an enemy to be assassinated, one
of the disciples was
commissioned. He was given hashish, a 'glimpse' of the
paradise, and told that he . could return to
the paradise if alive, otherwise he would enter it directly.
But this was only fertile European imagination, a
misconception that still persists in
the West. The only motivation was religious fervour and
obedience to the Sheikh's
cause. The assassins learnt languages, the art of fighting,
even posed as Sufis,
waited for years, even decades, for the opportunity to
knife the target and die —
contented. The word 'assassin' perhaps originates from its
abusive use in Syria,
their stronghold much later, where they were considered
wild and fanatic, like
narcotic addicts.
The intolerance bred by 'my god is the only god', followed
by 'my true and only'
ideology like fascism, Nazism and communism have been used
to butcher
hundreds of millions over the millennia, around 80 million
in 20th century alone.
The followers of Buddha, Tao, Confucius, Mahavira, Shamans
and Hindus never
forced their belief on others. The world now awaits the
latest clash.
Ever since Darwin's theory of evolution, westerners,
particularly Anglo-Saxons, put
great faith in the survival of the fittest theory. So there
was colonisation in the garb
of the white man's burden, the brutal elimination of Red
Indians on the American
continent, organised slavery and the dehumanisation of the
blacks in Africa and the
US. One wonders if the second atomic bomb against Japan was
really necessary.
Then came the napalm and chemical bombings in Vietnam.
Who established the nurseries of terrorism with billions of
dollars of arms due to
which countries around Afghanistan and beyond still suffer?
And who cares for the
poor Muslim masses who want to be left in peace but have to
pay for the blunders
of their leaders in Iran, Afghanistan, Algeria, Palestine
and Iraq?
The short-term selfish interests of big powers have brought
humanity to this stage.
After the Berlin Wall fell, came globalisation, a distorted
version of capitalism, to
promote narrow corporate interests of the West, with no
accountability to the people
who suffer as in South-east Asia. Under this charade,
hundreds of billions have
been transferred from Russia and East Europe to western
banks and institutions,
reducing the people to penury. With the Goebbelisation of
western media, Leftist
and other forms of dissent, are screened off. The
exploited, who could earlier
sustain hopes in Leftist ideologies, now have
fundamentalist ideologies to resort to.
For the US and its allies, Islamic fundamentalism has
become a life and death
challenge of the new millennium. Fifty years ago, the
Islamic Ummah had started
bestirring into violence a structure whose major fault
lines cut a wide swathe from
Atlantic to China. It is now in full-bloom around
Afghanistan and Pakistan, a
strategic centre of the Islamic world. Trained by the CIA
and ISI, there are now over
100,000 jehadis all over the Islamic world, in Kashmir,
Albania, Chechnya, Xinjiang
(China), Central Asia and elsewhere. They are sustained by
heroin exports and
smuggling. It's crucial that leaders of all countries must
forget their short-term interests . and
ponder what has gone wrong with the human race, and find peaceful
solutions. At
least to live and let live.

*Comments on 11 September , 2002 , the first anniversary*
Extracts from *The decline of the American Century *by K Gajendra Singh
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/DI11Ak06.html
"It is the afternoon sun that dazzles onlookers though it is past its prime.
That sums up the height of US power before last September 11. If the US
nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki without fear of retaliation was
the acme of the American Century, then the attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon, symbols of economic and military might, could be termed
the beginning of the end of the American Century. ---
After having thoughtlessly helped create the monster of Islamic
fundamentalism, the United States has now succeeded in arousing it, ranging
the might of Islamic people and their faith against itself. Earlier, the
poor and the deprived could find solace and action in communist and leftist
ideologies and programs, but after the dismantling of the Soviet Union, many
in the Islamic world have taken to extreme religious movements.--
Throughout history, there have always been asymmetrical wars, with the only
recourse of the weak to sacrifice his life against a powerful tyrant. Among
Muslims, Caliph Ali's son Imam Hussein, his forces outnumbered, is revered
for his sacrifice at Kerbala for his principles. Today, nations send their
soldiers to die for country or corporate interests in exchange for Purple
Hearts and Distinguished Service Medals.--
* *
*The American Century*
The American Century began in the early 20th century when European economic
and military power, with Great Britain first among equals, started declining
and was transferred to the American subcontinent - from the City of London
to Wall Street. World War I announced the arrival of the new guy on the
block, the United States, but it was not yet *numero uno.* That happened in
World War II, when the stamp of brutal power was heard around the world as
the United States dropped two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at a
time when no other world power had such a weapon. --
What has been described as the Cold War was almost like a simulated nuclear
war, in which the two sides invested most of their economic strength. The
USSR, a lesser economic power, lost the war by the end of the 1980s.
Historically, however, prolonged wars between two well-matched enemies
affect both adversely. It was the exhaustion caused by the prolonged wars
between the Byzantine and the Sasanian empires, as well as plagues and
famines, that allowed Islam, the new military power from the deserts of
Arabia, so easily and quickly to carve an empire that stretched from the
Atlantic to China. So after its Cold War victory, aided by a naive Mikhail
Gorbachev and consolidated with the help of Boris Yeltsin and his coterie,
but it became apparent very soon that the capitalist system led by the US
had also started shuddering,--
*Inequities of the current economic order*
The current international finance architecture is founded on the US dollar
as the dominant reserve currency, accounting for 68 percent of global
currency reserves, up from 51 percent a decade ago. Yet in 2000, the US
share of global exports ($781.1 billion out of a world total of $6.2
trillion) was only 12.3 percent and its share of global imports ($1.257
trillion out of a world total of $6.65 trillion) was 18.9 percent.
Ever since 1971, when US president Richard Nixon arbitrarily took the dollar
off the gold standard ($35 per ounce) in force since the Bretton Woods
Conference at the end of World War II, the dollar has become the global
monetary instrument that the United States, and only the United States, can
produce by fiat, despite record US current-account deficits and the US as
the leading debtor nation. The US national debt as of April 4 was $6.021
trillion against a GDP of $9 trillion.--
The Bush administration's foreign policy has undermined the fragile
structure of international law and conventions built up during the past
three centuries, to which the United States made important contributions.--
*Until 1998, the United States and its allies Saudi Arabia, the United Arab
Emirates and Pakistan fully supported the Taliban and supplied them funds.
Unocal, which spent millions of dollars on geological surveys on a projected
pipeline from Central Asia to South Asia, courted the Taliban, whose leading
officials were negotiating in Texas in 1998. It was only after the maverick
Taliban decided to favor an Argentine rival that John Maresca, vice
president of Unocal, testifying before the US Congress, said that there
would be no pipeline until the Taliban were gone and a more friendly
government was established. --
*
Look how the energy interests are trying to rule the United States and the
rest of the world. Zalmay Khalilzad, whom the Bush administration appointed
as its envoy to Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban, was a Unocal
consultant, as was, according to some reports, Karzai himself. (Pushtuns
call Karzai "America's Babrak Karmal", a reference to the Soviet-backed
president who ruled Afghanistan from 1979-86.) It is well known that the
Bush family acquired its wealth through oil; former president George Bush Sr
still works with the Carlyle Group that specializes in huge oil investments
abroad. His son's commerce secretary, Dale Evans, was chairman and chief
executive officer of an oil company. National Security Adviser Condoleezza
Rice was on the board of Chevron before going to Washington. (The oil
company even named a giant tanker after her, although the ship has
reportedly been quietly renamed the Altair Voyager.) Dick Cheney, before
becoming vice president, worked for the giant oil conglomerate
Halliburton.--
* *
*Dangers from within*
The danger to the US "way of life and stability" could come from within,
from black American Muslims who now number 3 million to 5 million. --.
The black community and Muslims remember many historic wrongs done to them.
Of the 2 million Americans in prisons, two-thirds are non-white. Many feel
oppressed by the white power structure and sentencing disparities, which too
often fall most harshly on minorities. Islam offers brotherhood, dignity,
and a sense of pride and solidarity, especially for non-whites. But many,
alienated and disfranchised, are prime targets for radical Islamists who
preach a religion of violence, of overcoming oppression by jihad. Many black
Americans have experienced maltreatment and dehumanization. Conversion to
Islam increased after September 11, even among Hispanics.
Perhaps it is in the *United States itself where its ill-informed and
misinformed people need not just a regime change but a system change.* Where
energy and military-industry corporate interests have hijacked power from
the people to pursue their narrow objectives. Where corporate chiefs enjoy
coercive powers even the Communist Party chiefs in the former Soviet Union
would have envied. *Where blacks, Hispanics and the poor cannot freely
choose a president (as in Florida, where only by not counting their votes
did George Bush become the president).
*
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, one misses Pravda and Izvestia, not that
they propounded truth (Russian *pravda*) but they were a check on the
so-called free Western media, which were careful and comparatively honest.
Now, without any restraints, the brainwashing monopoly of Western propaganda
is wreaking havoc around the world, specially in the United States, whether
it was the 1990-91 Gulf War, the bombing of Yugoslavia, Jammu and Kashmir,
and now Iraq.

*Jihadis: Assassins by another name* * Atimes 12 September, 2003
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/EI12Ak01.html
* I was not happy with the title given by the editor.
This article deals with the history of the assassins (covered earlier
briefly)
*September 11 and New Yorkers*
According to a recent New York Times report about the impact and fears of
September 11 among New Yorkers, "the simmering disquiet persists, a
lengthening shadow that won't leave". It said that "most New Yorkers [ are]
feeling no safer, no more convinced that the terror won't come back. The
narrative of that day is older now, but the city still feels its amplitude.
It is as if the populace has stalled in its march toward fully being itself
again." –
There remains little confidence in the security measures meant to protect
the city's infrastructure. And most New Yorkers feel that the city is
unprepared for a biological or chemical attack that might contaminate the
air or the water. Two years after September 11, New Yorkers feel the city
remains as vulnerable as ever, the poll concluded.--
*Drill in London*
On September 7, British authorities with ministers present carried out in
London's financial district the most elaborate and high profile
anti-terrorist drill that Britain has ever seen. Designed to be as realistic
as possible, it was presumed that terrorists had struck at the Bank
Underground station with a substance similar to the poisonous gas Sarin. The
drill was intended to test how the emergency services worked together and
the effectiveness of new equipment purchased in the aftermath of September
11.
*Cry wolf, wolf*
In February, an exercise in London and US cities almost looked like a parody
of the fable "wolf , wolf", which was organized to influence the UN Security
Council vote on the report of chief weapons inspector Hans Blix. (Later he
commented that the US had already decided and planned to make war on Iraq.)
Passengers reaching London's Heathrow airport were surprised when they found
it surrounded by tanks and armored cars full of troops. Orange alerts, the
second highest, were enforced in the US and UK, with helicopters and planes
covering the airspace of the two countries.
An editorial in the Arab News on February 14 commented on this as follows,
"Has UK Prime Minister Tony Blair taken leave of his senses? The sight of
tanks and armored patrol vehicles patrolling London's Heathrow airport
suggests so. Does Blair envisage an al-Qaeda Panzer division? Washington
appears equally paranoid. Batteries of anti-aircraft missiles have been set
up around the city with fighter planes patrolling overhead, while Americans
have been warned to stock up on water blankets and food."
[ *The exaggerated fears of Al Qaeda and terrorist acts propounded by US/UK
leaders and corporate media have been misused to restrict personal freedoms
with Patriot Acts and other measures to control the society*.]
*Other measures -post September 11,2001*
* *
In September, 2002, the US announced a new National Security Strategy,
asserting that it will maintain global hegemony permanently and any
challenge will be blocked by force. The strategy declared that the US,
alone, had the right to carry out "preventive war" - preventive, not
preemptive - using military force to eliminate a perceived threat, even if
invented or imagined.
There was never any credible evidence for the alleged link between Saddam
and his known bitter enemy, Osama bin Laden. The invasion of Iraq has only
certainly increased recruitment to al-Qaeda-like outfits, and the threat of
terror to the world and in Iraq, as US forces are finding out. Meanwhile,
bin Laden remains at large and the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction are
still missing*!( Studies have shown that as a result of illegal invasion of
Iraq in 2003 and its brutal occupation, the number of terrorists and their
activities have increased seven fold .In UK the intelligence expenditure on
anti-terror activities was doubled) . *
*11 September , 2010.***
Now, 9 years on, the reality has become clearer , thanks to internet,
independent online websites and blogs , since 90% of US media is controlled
by 5 corporate entities and BBC is UK government mouthpiece and spews spins
and lies like Tony Blair.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union and fall of the Berlin well ,US led
West in a mood of triumphalism as the sole Hyper power planned policies on
the basis of studies like 'The Project for the New American Century, or
PNAC, ' This Washington-based think tank created in 1997 recommended the
establishment of a global American empire and bend the will of all nations.
And with its economic clout and military force coerce the rest of the world
to Washington's hegemony and a new socio-economic Pax Americana.
The PNAC's White Paper of September of 2000 entitled "Rebuilding America's
Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century" outlines how to
create the global US empire .Accordingly US America must:
* Reposition permanently based forces to Southern Europe, Southeast Asia and
the Middle East;
* Modernize U.S. forces, including enhancing fighter aircraft, submarine and
surface fleet capabilities;
* Develop and deploy a global missile defense system, and develop a
strategic dominance of space;
* Control the "International Commons" of cyberspace;
* Increase defense spending to a minimum of 3.8 percent of gross domestic
product, up from the 3 percent currently spent.
The PNAC document prescribed "Core Missions" for the US military. The armed
forces should be able to "fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous
major theater wars," and to "perform the 'constabulary' duties associated
with shaping the security environment in critical regions," to establish
Washington's dominance for all to see.
Two events brought PNAC ideology smack into the Washington administration ,
the disputed election of George Bush in 2000, and the September 11,2001
attacks. 1) When Bush entered the White House , the men , also known as
Neo-cons who created PNAC 's imperial dreams took over the Pentagon, the
Defense Department and the White House. 2) When the twin Towers were brought
down and the Pentagon was attacked, these men had their chance to turn their
White Papers into US policy.
Vice President Dick Cheney was a founding member of PNAC, along with Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Defense Policy Board chairman Richard Perle.
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was the ideological guru of the
group. Many PNAC members had spent years advocating that a nuclear war with
the Soviet Union was "winnable."
Then a new group was formed , the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq,
which met with National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice in order to
formulate a plan to "educate" the American populace about the need for war
in Iraq. CLI funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to support the Iraqi
National Congress and its leaders, Ahmed Chalabi (he was sentenced in
absentia by a Jordanian court in 1992 to 22 years in prison for bank fraud
after the collapse of Petra Bank.) After the revolution in Iraq, his family
lost properties, so he was full of vengeance .Chalabi ,a CIA and MIV asset
misled willing US leaders by supplying false info and boasted that US troops
will be greeted with flowers by Iraqis. He organized the toppling of the
Saddam Hussein statue in Firdaus Square in Baghdad in April 2003 with the
help of US military , which Western media hailed and broadcast gleefully.
The PNAC Statement of Principles was signed by Cheney, Wolfowitz and
Rumsfeld, as well as by Eliot Abrams, Jeb Bush, Bush's first special envoy
to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad, and many others like William Kristol of the
Weekly Standard, owned by Ruppert Murdoch, who also owns international media
Fox News, which prostitutes the noble profession of journalism.
After September 11,2001 events ,Bush released on September 20 the "National
Security Strategy of the United States of America," an ideological copy of
PNAC's "Rebuilding America's Defenses" report .The increase in defense
spending by Bush's proposed budget for next year $379 billion was 3.8% of
GDP as suggested by PNAC.
*Pre-Bush Campaign Policy agenda to remove Saddam Hussein *
In his article titled "Drinking the Kool-Aid" in the July 2004 issue
of Middle East Policy Council , Journal W. Patrick Lang, writes about
the spring 2000 meeting by Stephen Hadley, later National-Security
Adviser , briefing prominent Republican party policymakers on the
national-security and
foreign-policy agenda of the future Bush administration. Hadley was
one of the group of senior
campaign advisers to then Texas Governor Bush known collectively as
"the Vulcans" , which also included Condi Rice Paul Wolfowitz and
Richard Perle which had been assembled by George Shultz and Dick
Cheney in late 1998, when Bush first launched his presidential bid.
Hadley announced that the "number-one foreign-policy agenda" of a Bush
administration would be Iraq and the unfinished business of removing
Saddam Hussein from power. The Israel-Palestine conflict would be
placed in the deep freeze. This pre-election obsession of the Vulcans
with the ouster of Saddam Hussein was corroborated in Ron Suskind's
book 'The Price of Loyalty', based on former U.S. Treasury Secretary
Paul O'Neill's notes of the meeting.
For USA the Cold War never really ended and all means were employed to push
Western military arm NATO to encroach into and encircle Russian strategic
space ,in spite of promises to Gorbachev and other Russian leaders .[*Would
Indian leadership learn from such US policies. A Deputy PM of US NATO ally
Turkey told the author ,"Mr Ambassador, you cannot trust the Americans even
on what they have given in writing."* ] After the Fall of the Berlin Wall ,
in central Europe it was carried out by dismantling Yugoslavia, an Orthodox
Christian Slav nation friendly to Russia. Later US franchised street
revolutions succeeded in Serbia and Georgia and partially in Ukraine but
failed in Belarus. When Washington tried the same in Uzbekistan and
Kyrgyzstan, Uzbek ruler Islam Karimov expelled the Americans from the air
base and Kyrgyzstan placed new restrictions. The eastward movement of NATO
has resulted in the upgrading of Shanghai Corporation Organization which now
promotes military coordination and collaboration among its members to
counter NATO.
Hopes of millions of Europeans for a better world order and peace as
promised by western propaganda did not fructify. The wars and conflicts in
Abkhazia, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq, Kosovo, Macedonia, Karabakh, former
Yugoslavia, and South Ossetia , even inside Russia in Chechnya and elsewhere
, showed that in the world without the stability, even armed one, sustained
by the bipolar system ,there is no legally binding respect for sovereignty,
territorial integrity, and independence of countries. Without the basic
principles, force by the West became the main arbiter in international
relations. However when US tried testing Russian resolve and inspired its
puppet ruler in Georgia to invade disputed south Ossetia, Moscow gave a
bloody thrashing and has grabbed south Ossetia and Abkhazia in a riposte to
US detaching Kosovo from Serbia and recognizing its independence. Victor
Yushchenko, a US puppet in Ukraine was replaced by a pro-Russian leader
Victor Yakunovich in last presidential elections .
Contrary to the self proclaimed congratulatory triumphalism of neo-liberals
after the collapse of Communism and Socialism in end 1980s, celebrated from
house tops by the so called philosophers, think tanks and analysts with
delusions of permanent world domination of Western financiers and corporate
houses based on dubious theories like 'the Clash of Civilizations' and 'the
End of History ' or even claims of Washington - the New Rome with absolute
control planned via the 'Project for American Century ' by arrogant and
historically ignorant Straussian neo-cons, Zeo-cons and their supporters ,
the situation on the ground has turned out to be quite adverse.
The post 11 September era produced great wealth for some and historic
inequalities (In India too). The corporate media, journalism is now called
communications , barring a few stalwarts, mostly communicates the objectives
and interest of the military-industry and energy complex in USA. (*Indian
media , mostly corporate owned remains a poor US copy*. )The era has brought
terrible poverty and misery to a very large segment of people around the
world. The charade of globalization is a new imperial tool to extort money.
Between US$ 400 to a trillion was transferred from former USSR to the West.
It created seven oligarchs in Russia, six of whom happen to be Jews. Some
have escaped to Israel and UK and one who tried to take over the Russian
Federation Presidency is now jailed in Siberia. West advised and executed
Cold Turkey implementation of so called Capitalism has resulted in deaths of
an extra million in Russian Federation alone. The situation is equally bad
in most former communists and socialist states in Eurasia. Literally Mafias
connected to the West have taken over power.
*End of History*
If the fall of the Berlin Wall was proclaimed as the 'End of History' and an
end of socialism and communism in Soviet Union and East Europe (since 1978,
China is more of an authoritarian fascist style state), the Collapse of the
Wall Street is an outcome of reckless corporate culture and greed in USA,
over spending on defense and imperial over-reach, similar to the symptoms
which laid low the Soviet Union twenty years ago.
In any case, economist Hyman Minsky had predicted that "Keynes's collective
work amounted to a powerful argument that Capitalism was by its very nature
unstable and prone to collapse. Far from trending toward some magical state
of equilibrium, capitalism would inevitably do the opposite. It would lurch
over a cliff,"
Soviet strongman Mikhail Gorbachev was hoodwinked into surrender in late
1980s by Ronald Reagan's Missile Defense project or Star Wars, which is
nothing but a bottomless pork barrel charade to enrich the military-industry
complex with little to show for its efficacy.[*Obama would try to sell the
unproven Missile defense system to India, which must be resisted* ]
Gorbachev was followed by a Boris Yeltsin, remembered for being mostly drunk
or drugged. They destroyed the Soviet state, undermined its ideology and the
concept of scientific socialism.
US now spends over US$ 700 billion on defense as much as the rest of the
world put together with hundreds of bases around the world to cajole,
threaten and illegally invade other nations. It has massive deficits, trade
imbalance and a fast shrinking economy, except the financial industry based
on thin air and existing only on computer screens with little to back it.
The trillions of US dollars of stimulus money now sloshing around the world
keep the stock markets high and lends to speculation in primary commodities.
*11 September ,2001 attacks –a false flag operation!*
Many people, including scientists , professional organizations of architects
, engineers and others doubt the truth about 119 as brought out by
Washington establishment reports .They believe it was an inside job, to
provide a Pearl Harbour like pretext to bomb Afghanistan to control the
region and threaten Russia and China and then Iraq for its oil as admitted
subsequently by Wolfowitz and Fed Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Majority
of Muslims around the world do not accept the US official explanation. In
Europe and even in US , the number of doubters has increased .Special US
covert organizations and even Israeli Mossad have been suggested to be
behind the False Flag operation .
The author receives from around the world reports ,videos and films from
many respected writers and others about the 11 September events as an inside
job. Scientists have raised serious doubts about the way the towers
collapsed .How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11
seconds? Ask thousand architects and engineers and demand from the Congress
a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7
at the World Trade Center. "In order to bring down this kind of mass in such
a short period of time, the material must have been artificially, exploded
outwards," says *Richard Gage*, a San Francisco architect and founder of the
nonprofit Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. How building 7, a 47-story
skyscraper, which was not hit by an aircraft, yet came down in "pure
free-fall acceleration." There is also evidence of "advanced explosive
nano-thermitic composite material found in the World Trade Center dust.
A large number of people are also not satisfied with the 9/11 Commission
report which admitted that the agencies missed 10 opportunities (really) to
detect and disrupt the al-Qaida conspiracy before the 2001 attacks on New
York and Washington
The delay and absence of counter action by the relevant US agencies can be
explained by the inertia and sudden unexpectedness .I have argued that the
jokers who so mis-planned and mis-implemented 'Operation Iraqi Freedom'
clumsily and stupidly could not have organized the 11 September operation.
My assessment has been that insiders in US knew about the planning of the
events by Arab and Muslim groups and like Pearl Harbour allowed it to happen
to arouse anger and fear at home .But slowly I am also coming round to the
view of the doubters about official investigations and the reports.
