Everyone loves a good conspiracy. To be honest, I think the whole 'The government did it' is an attempt to demolish the 'United against the Enemy' culture that's gripped American politics since the good old Soviet days. When the Union collapsed, they needed a new enemy and as luck would have it, people flew planes into the Trade Centres.
And some clever bugger didn't shout 'Saudi Commandos!' but shouted 'Terrorists!' instead, which pretty much gives you a license to attack everyone in the Middle East, instead of just the one country. Terrorist in your average flag-waving american mind means 'Asian guy with turban and/or beard'. Who knows? Maybe Bin Laden is on the American payroll and is merely there to stir shit up and promote the idea of united terrorism (when, in truth, the extremists shoot more of their own guys than they do ours.)
So why a common enemy? Because fear sells. It really does. I saw an advert happily promoting an anti-terrorist box which you get into when the nasty [insert enemy name here] come to town. It had a portable toilet, many tins of beans, and was the size of a porta-lavvy. They sold out in a week, apparently.
That's the price of living in a country of luxury, folks; fear. Unless you're like me and don't give a damn if today's the last. Though it's interesting to speculate. Maybe America is waging a big hidden campaign to subjugate ALL Middle Eastern countries in order to secure the Big Prize of Saudi Arabia; the source of a greater part of America's wealth in oil (I think). "Now we can get all our oil for FREE!" shouts Obama, spinning in his chair to reveal a white cat sitting in his lap. "Mnyaaaaaa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaa...!"
That'd be great. I look forward to the game when it comes out.
