Proving Nothing:How the 9/11 Truth Movement Ignores Reality (Joshua Frank)
Joshua Frank -- World News Trust

Sept. 10, 2006 -- I really have no interest in debunking all the nutty conspiracies revolving around September 11, 2001. I find the exercise about as entertaining as discussing the virgin birth with a Christian fundamentalist. The truth is, it’s is damn near impossible to convince a zealot of their senselessness.

I concede that there are a lot of questions yet to be answered about that dark day five years ago. But of all of the inquiries, none, in my opinion, if answered, would ever indicate the U.S. government was behind the bloody affair. Sad thing is most 9/11 conspiracy theorists, conveniently dubbed the 9/11 Truth Movement, are on par with Bush for the Super-Negligence Award: what they are now propagating will never stop this out-of-control administration or any of our government’s homicidal policies.

With all the banter about the Bushies and the neocons taking down the World Trade Center or flying a missile in to the Pentagon, the Truth Movement seems to willfully ignore that we’ve got real wars going on in the Middle East right now. And most of these battles started well before Bush took office or Bin Laden’s combat teams flew commercial airliners in to the WTC.

I’ve yet to comprehend how sending out mass emails, which “prove” George W. Bush and company were behind 9/11, will ever bring our troops home or curb U.S. imperialism. Never mind these hollow tirades “prove” nothing, the senders’ obsessive tendencies (my inbox overflows with this nonsense) are a huge diversion from the actual crimes our government commits on a daily basis.

1. Clearly, there are more TRUTHS in existence than Mr. Frank grasps.
I might suggest that his time would be better-spent
in LEARNING than in BELITTLING.

I might, but I won't. Life is to short.

3. Yeah, sure, Bu*h would never deliberately lie in order to kill a bunch
of innocent people for power and profit. Out of the question.

Ok kids! Nothing to see here, so let's just forget it and have some more of that good ol' kool-aid!
