1. I will never understand why bush was given a pass for 9/11

I couldn't believe it when 90% of the country rallied around him after he ignored clear warnings then sat in a classroom while the towers burned. I'll NEVER understand it.

3. It's like a dysfunctional family sticking up for abusive parent

Remember John Bradshaw, who did all those inner child workshops in the 90's. His big thing was how dysfunction is driven by shame.

Most people can't accept that they did something wrong because it overwelms them with feelings of shame.

By admitting Bush failed, I think for some people, would by extention mean admitting they had failed.

People who can't take responsibility point the finger at others, at which point they can take whatever action they want against "the others" and feel justified.

4. some of us didn't

I was a 10%er.

BTW, I could never understand why the country gave his old man a pass for giving Hussein a diplomatic signal that it was OK to go into Kuwait either.

5. Thats easy, re-action instead of action.

Action is thought out and then take calculated course of action. Re-action is no thought just gut level flight or fight response. 9/11 most people re-acted without thought, after many of those that re-acted started asking questions that have lead to the belief that shrub wasn't a leader but a stupid little man trying to be something he isn't.

2. Be curious to see if...

As would be typically expected, if greater public pressure is placed on the gov, surrounding culpability for the crimes of 9/11 as required justification to implement all of the big plans they had set to go, if once again the bumbling "incompetence" ruse will be more openly/widely pimped? In other words, if from the Establishment point of view, they realize that too many people are on to it, and know they'll only look more guilty across the board ("hollowed" institutions) if they continue to pretend to ignore and dismiss the people's awareness of flagrant lies in the "official" version, they'll be forced to spin it away from "we planned it," to "Bushco is incompetent."

I mean, I realize that's already one of the prevailing schools of thought on 9/11, but I'm wondering if hightened public scrutiny will force or strategically send more Estab types and pundits out to deflect obvious complicitous actions with more of the favored "dumb Bush?"
