The author of the article that started this thread, Robert Fantina, is a long-time American peace activist who worked with the Coalition for Peace Action in New Jersey. He moved to Canada in 2004 after working for the Kerry presidential campaign. He has recently published a book about military desertion.

Fantina wonders:
Why should the public, one wonders, explore America's possible role in provoking the 9/11 attacks, when it is so much easier to view them as the work of madmen, seeking world domination and hating America for all it's glorious freedoms and prosperity?

Well, for one thing, bin Laden IS a madman seeking unlimited power, who hates America for itā??s freedoms and success. He and his cohorts want to force the world back into the Dark Ages, with Islamic theocracy as the only government on the planet. If they cannot accomplish this goal, then they would prefer to see the world destroyed, by wars, so that Allah can start again, and put chosen people and systems in place. If this isnā??t madness, then what is?

Robert Fantina, as his name implies, lives in a fantasy world.
