AAR > Lionel > Caller "God let 9/11 happen."

[patrice]

If one agrees with what Ron Paul said last night about Blowback, the notion that super-ordinate categories of factors trigger things that happen in the world is another way of saying ___________ (fill in the blank with the diety of your choice) let it happen.

Religion in and of itself is not NECESSARILY wrong. It, like mythology, represents a different, perhaps foreign to you, language for explaining things that happen.

The decadence that Lionel's caller referred to could = the sorts of things that Chomsky writes about in Hegemony or Survival.

The issue of individual culpability or innocence is addressed by the FACT that we exist as a group NOT individuals. What happens to the group is the result of what the group is.
