Jason Leopold writes, "9/11 gave the Bush administration the excuse they needed
to execute a long-planned military strike against Iraq. President Bush and his
cabinet duped Congress and the American people into believing the country had
ties to al-Qaeda, and helped the terrorist organization plan the attacks on the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon five years ago."

Jean-Pierre Stroobants | September 11, Permanent Fear
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/091106H.shtml
"In order to eliminate fear of the other - by definition a mysterious,
multiform, and more or less anonymous other - further risks are taken that give
birth to other fears: the risks of outrages to personal freedom and the fear of
violence coming from those same states or empires that we had charged with
protecting us," a prophecy Jean-Pierre Stroobants suggests has come true.

willfully turned the nation's attention and resources to a totally unrelated and
disastrous imperial adventure in Iraq."

and act on it."
