Hello Tim,

>RB>13:34: DC> Who cares about what happened 65 years ago . . .

>RB>Quite a lot of people, Dan. Some even remember WWII and Hitler, and worry
>RB>about a resurgence of militarism and nationalism.

>RB>And I seem to remember _almost_ 65 years ago, in 1948, there was an event
>RB>in the former British Mandate of Palestine that even now appears to affec
>RB>many people, particularly the Palastinians,

>RB>and may even have led to events such as 9/11.

TR>It did.

9-11-1922  A British mandate was proclaimed in Palestine, which
lasted until 1948, when the Jews declared Israel (Palestine) as their
homeland.

9-11-1941  Groundbreaking ceremony at the Pentagon.

What better date than 9-11 for Muslims to attack America, showing
their contempt for the Jews and for those who support them?

79 years passed between 9-11-1922 (British mandate proclaimed) and
9-11-2001 (terrorist attacks on WTC and Pentagon).  79 years passed
between the founding of Iraq as a state and the US invasion of Iraq.
Coincidence?

TR>And by its in-action in many areas, and a few presidents that let various
TR>things slip by without any real retaliation, America set itself up for the
TR>9/11 attack!

Was it America that set itself up?  Or was it the Jews?  Or was it
Muslims who blamed the Jews?  Or Muslims who blamed both the Jews and
America?

TR>The Arab terrorists have been targeting America and Americans for
TR>decades.

Arab terrorists?  Not all of them.  Of the terrorists who attacked
us on 9-11, 15 were from Saudi Arabia (Arabs) and 4 were from Pakistan
(non-Arabs).  None were from Iraq (Arabs) or Afghanistan (non-Arabs).

TR>They finally had a religious fanatic\terrorist come along who knew
TR>how to come up with a terrorist act that would really hurt
TR>America....something the whol world would see, and never forget: the
TR>attack on 9/11,01.

Osama bin Laden might have taken credit, but did ObL or his associates
really do the dirty deed?  What if ObL's associates acted on their own,
with ObL taking credit?  What if terrorists not affiliated with al-Qaeda
did it, but chose not to take credit, thus allowing ObL and al-Qaeda to
take credit?  What proof is there that ObL was behind it?  What proof is
there that his followers acted on his orders?  Is ObL really a religious
fanatic/terrorist?  Or is he just a rich man who has the ability to tell
the Muslim world what it wants to hear?

The fact of the matter is that we do not know who was responsible
for the terror attacks of 9-11.  We know who took credit.  But we
do not know who ordered those attacks, or who really did it.

>RB>Never underestimate history and its lessons.

TR>With the new administration in Washington DC, they already have!

Don't worry.  If it ain't broke, Obama will fix it.
