I'm not really a fan of slickly-produced flash presentations to make up my mind on the events of September 11th, but here are my 2 cents anyway.

Were those planes hijacked by Al Queida terrorists and flown into the WTC, the Pentagon, and the ground in Pennsylvania?  I believe so.  I also think the administration had a very good idea of what was coming, but the lack of communication between anyone useful and general ineptitude of the Bush administration prevented against taking any precautions.

Somehow I doubt that Rumsfeld, Cheney, and the rest of the little Right Wing geshtappo would have planned to run the Republican Party into the ground as much as it is currently stuck.  I also don't think there would be a vast enough conspiracy to warrent eroding just about ALL goodwill the US had in the world.

As far as Dubye...I honestly believe that Dubya is not a bad person - he seems like a nice guy to have a beer with and watch football.  But how he managed to become US President still befuddles me.  One thing is for sure:  he's managed to take the country on an eight-year little joyride like an irresponsible little high-schooler in his parents' sports car, smashing and destroying anything nice about it until finally crashing into a garbage dumpster at 2am in a drunken stuper.
