geez...i was actually saying that i dont particularly hold the bush administration to account for not preventing 9/11/2001.
just goes to show you--folk like ustwo do not read, they only see what they want to see.
i dont think there is any scenario in which they could have done anything.
i dont think there is anything but wishful thinking in imagining there was. people want to imagine the state is like an all-knowing father--the reverse of that is thinking that the world is in fact transparent to the state and that events like 9/11/2001 can therefore be explained by someone fucking up.
within that you have the problem of illusions created by using an event from 2001 to rewrite the history of the previous 15 years.
it seems to me that nothing could have been done to prevent 9/11/2001 and another attack, organized on parallel grounds, could be carried out now.
not only that, but such an attack is always possible.
no amount of hysteria changes that.
no amount of rewriting of the past changes that.
both are more about therapeutic requirements than addressing anything substantial.
