Eric,

In case you have forgotten, what you wrote was:

That sounds like you believed that the US did cause 9/11.

Later you claimed not to be saying that the US did itself in, but you
continued sprouting conspiracy theory about the government trying to mislead
the American people by not showing the video you want to see (sort of like
the JFK conspiracy freaks who claim the Warren Commission was a whitewash).

You seemed to tie the reluctance to disclose footage that you want exposed
to some cover-up re the Iraqi War. I haven't figured exactly what conspiracy
theory you are espousing because your mind seems to wander in your messages,
from one pet gripe to another.

You really haven't made clear as to what you think the US government is
covering up about 9/11. If you want to elaborate, that would be helpful (if
you can stay on point). You seem to be making a lot of charges recently
about American, Christian, Caucasian actions as opposed to non-American,
non-Christian, non-Caucasian actions.
