The World Trade Center Demolition and the So-Called War on Terrorism
The writer of this article discredits his most important points against American Imperialism by insisting on spending most of his time labouring an improbable and unnecessary assumption, that the World Trade Centre demolition was in fact planned by the Bush Administration. High level plots and conspiracies are possible (the Kirov murder is perhaps the most outstanding example), but Ockham's razor applies. There is sufficient motive and resentment amongst Arab Muslims regarding the situation in Palestine, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere to consider the making of such an attack, as everyone should appreciate by now. As for the organisation and planning of it, it is a remarkable feat although Bin Laden himself, in a cave in Afghanistan, may not have been directly involved in that planning.
