Question: Suppose the idea of LIHOP gets some legs

[ComerPerro]

And starts getting national attention. Suppose that investigations take place and it is found that Bush and his administration did in fact know about the attacks in advance, but still decided to let them happen for the political gain.

What then?

I think that a lot of your more hardcore wingnuts (especially the FReepers will do one of two things):

Deny it

or

Justify it


Think about it.
Despite all of the evidence about Watergate, there are still fanatics out there who say that it was a setup by the liberals, and that there was never any wrongdoing. You know, people that worship G Gordon Liddy.

Then again, some people are so sick that they won't care. I have a feeling that a lot of these pro-war assholes holding "Never Forget" signs will find a way to rationalize it, and even support it.

They will discuss how its bad that the attack happened, but we need to move on. They will talk about how good it was because it showed us that terrorism is a real threat, and one attack killing 3,000 is a small price to pay considering all the lives Bush is saving with the war on terror.


Any thoughts?

1. we really can't afford for it to grow legs before this administration is

out of power.
It has to happen after they are out of power so that they can't find a way to get a pardon.

2. Maybe it's just cuz I'm tired, but I just want the truth to come out,

and let the shitstorm happen however it does.

This country BADLY needs to face some hard and heavy truths, from the JFK assassination on up. Otherwise, the collective cognitive dissonance is going to keep mutating into worse and worse pathologies.

One of the biggest reasons the bush* junta even had a chance to grab power is the layers and layers of denial and avoidance of uncomfortable truths that make up American psyche.

This country has GOT to wake up, or all hope for our democracy is lost.
