>As for FDR and Pearl Harbor, I think the latest info confirms the conspiracy theories, so that that was not really an intelligence failure.

I'm normally a tin foil kind of guy, but the enormity of this tragedy makes it impossible for me to seriously believe that our government actually may have known about it in advance. 20,000 deaths is just so monstrous, so horrible, that I just can't believe anyone would let it happen.

But there are so many questions that I don't see how a rational person could let them go unasked. Some straightforward ones are:

How could this have been planned for five years without _some_ intelligence agency knowing about it?

How could this have involved 50+ people without _some_ intelligence agency knowing about it?

How could this have involved people traveling between -- at least -- three or four different countries without _some_ intelligence agency knowing about it?

There is one final thing that has been bugging me lately.

During the last election, during all the fighting and legal squabbles, tin foil people at www.enterprisemission.com put forward a complicated theory which was built around the belief that people in power knew that something horrendous was going to happen, something which would enable the governing party to make vastly important decisions and vastly change/shape the future of the globe. That was why, they suggested months ago, that the republicans and democrats were slugging it out it a way unheard of in modern politics. Because they both knew that _something_ big was coming down... EnterpriseMission.com has put up crazy theories and such. But they wrote about this months ago, while the election was still undetermined. (They've since removed old files from their site so I can't link to their wild theory.)

Emotionally, I can't even start to believe that our politicians are _so_ bad that they would let something like this happen.

But I can't stop asking myself the questions, either... Mark W.

The feds were busy guarding the sucker fish at Klamath Falls, counting the number of fags who have been insulted so far this year so the statistics can be added to next year’s annual FBI “hate crime” report, talking country bumpkins into sawing off shotgun barrels, investigating people who used the “n” word in public, setting forest fires that burn down dozens of homes at places like Los Alamos, making sure that American tourists weren’t bringing in too many blankets and liquor from Mexico, making sure our children were properly being taught the theory of evolution in public schools, looking around Amtrak stations to see if any train passengers looked “nervous”, spying on people who deal in bird feathers, making sure that people in the Southwest didn’t steal any desert cactus or rocks, making sure that men in commercial business offices don’t pinch their secretaries on the butt, scanning the internet for pornography, enforcing affirmative action programs, enforcing the no-smoking rules in federal buildings, fining vacationers for littering in national parks, and totaling up their future retirement benefits.
