So, will "Al Qaeda" be blamed for these attacks?
Advertisements [?]
Although no such organization exists (al qaeda means "The base" in Afghanistan. It was used to describe the base of the muhajideen during the Soviet war), the entire media acts like the muslim world is in one big, bad war against us, and we must always be aware of attack from any direction.

9/11, if we are to believe what we are told about it, was probably planned by a handful of men, who carried out the operation without the help of some massive and monolithic "al-qaeda" which exists in dozens of countries across the world.

But Bush/Blair will no doubt point to this attack, somehow and confusingly using it as justification for further degradation of civil liberties and more war abroad (which no one can deny is simply creating more and more enemies). And it will all go back to "al qaeda," a group that really doesn't exist.

For God's sake, if these bombs aren't being planted by M16/CIA, I really hope the people who continue to give the West more propoganda for war and suppression start realizing this isn't the way to get through to the Western public.
