"While no one in their right mind could possibly subcribe to either LIHOP or MIHOP..."

I don't know why you say that. There is ample evidence in our own history of right wing justification for an attack on American citizens to achieve their goals. Operation Northwoods has been documented. It has been covered by ABC.

The Reichstag fire was another possible attempt to blame someone else when another fascist seized unlimited power.

History is replete with Machiavellian murdering thugs.

Ledeen has a book out which praises Machiavelli's ideas of lying to citizens and ruling via fear and worse.

I'm not saying either of those scenarios is true or not, but hopefully history will be able to answer that question.

however, I have no doubt that there are powerful people in this country who are willing to kill innocents to achieve their goals... just look at the children in Iraq...just like the people in the WTC, they were innocent, but they were expendable in order to attack Saddam.
