9/11: Accomplices, Scapegoats, Lone Gunmen, and Final Thoughts, for now...

This Sunday will be the 4th anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11/01. An event, that if all people shared a common love for all humanity, would have never happened.

Will a truth-seeking investigation ever happen? Well, good question. Would such an investigation give the true results or the results the government wants us to hear?

Much of the previous posts on 9/11 here have been about how'd it happen and who-dun-it. So, who did do it? I think that there's more than what lies at the surface, just as a glacier's surface is a small fraction of the whole glacier.

When reviewing the three big terrorist acts in the United States during the past decade and a half, I see three groups: accomplices, scapegoats and “lone gunmen.”

Of course, the media dishes out the government rhetoric that these terrorist acts were done by “lone gunmen,” either individuals or groups acting alone. And most of the public believes it, primarily because that is all they see at the surface. But these were MAJOR terrorist attacks. They don't happen because of the planning and execution of a few individuals or a small group of people.

Then, there are accomplices, those "evil governments" and those that “harbor terrorists” in Bush speak. However, in light of all the theories surrounding these three terrorist attacks, could there be accomplices from within? Could the United States not only “harbor terrorists” but entice and encourage them?

And finally the scapegoats, those “lone gunmen” who may have been led or misled to do the outwardly visible part of these terrorist attacks, and to take the blame for them. How much of the full operation did these lone gunmen know? Did they know their part of terrorism would be pushed past their small contribution?

Many, many questions. Very few truthful, proven answers. Do we really need or want to know the true answers? Is it better that we not know and trust the government? Do we really want justice?

One proven answer: Absolute power corrupts, and power corrupts absolutely.

One last question: Are the leaders of this country working for power and all it stands for, or working for the people and all we stand for?

We will know what our leaders work for in their actions. Look. Watch closely. They will show us if we only look.
