you write:
I don't think Dubya was responsible for the WTC bombing but this is certainly taking advantage of it like it was the Reichstag fire.
I agree with you. BTW, the most interesting part of the Reichstag article was the last sentence:
"...democracy can be destroyed by... offering as a 'solution' the abdication of civil liberties and state's rights to a powerful but unaccountable central authority.
We appear to be heading down that road rather quickly.
