Yeah, this is the pseudo-conspiracy theory way the story goes. By learning about the Oct 2002 authorization of the war, you can learn why it was passed by a bi-partisan majority of congress. https://www.c-span.org/resources/pdf/hjres114.pdf

You really don't seem to understand Islamic extremism. Were the Danish embassies torched because the jihadists are tired of their wretched thievery and imperialism. Grow up. They hate the West for what it is; not what it does. Religious extremists do not operate using Cartesian logic.

What are you talking about? You show how cheaply misused the word conspiracy nowadays is.
The war on terror is a fraud from beginning to end. There was this attack, and suddenly - quick! scare the sh*t out of the people, convince them there's the big boogeyman in the east who's trying to kill your family, who hates your life and want's to destroy your country. Just surrender your rights and accept everything under the pretext security. That is the story thus far.
The opinion that people over there hate anybody and want to destroy america, the safest place on the face of the earth (after all, what are the 450 billion for the military for?), is in itself a conspiracy theory.
And the bush agenda of the last 7 years is one of the quickest and most thoroughly pushed agendas i've ever seen.

Here's how it works, it's like in a recipe book:

Quote from: Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg Trials

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

Ironically, those who complain that they're hated are the ones to be the quickest when it comes to declaring an enemy and spreading prejudices. And then of course, the american government declared two wars and kills people. It's like you bash someone in the face repeatedly and afterwards say "see, i told you he hates us".

I'm astounded everytime by the willingness of people to participate in such a large scale scam.
