My beliefs must conform to the fact that an insidious cave dweller has the highly sophisticated ability to coordinate 911, the clever anthrax caper and manage nuclear threats. If I question any detail, then I am branded a heretic.
Any mention that there may be others who are infinitely more qualified, more capable and would benefit more from these atrocities will incite a untoward rage. The mere hint that there are others with a proven track record for this sort of treason is unacceptable in the hysterical climate of today.
