Alex, I think there is a cover up. Yet at the end of the day, despite noting Susan's comment that yours "is the only nation that can't see this for what it is", I am pessimistic.

Which one nation, can you tell me, has denounced what it views as lies and the murder of cirka 3000 people? Which of our so-called civilised nations, not counting those "nasty ones" that might have WMD, have expressed their discust, or raised this issue at the United Nations?

If Susan meant awareness among the public, well yes, I dare say that this is growing. I myself have accepted that the official version of 911 just will not hold water. I believe that charges were placed in the towers from the evidence that the truth movement has made available - by whom, like one of the scientists I believe put it, "I don't want to go there", because I just don't know.

Yet awareness is not enough, and frankly I am a pessimist. Does it change anything that "everybody knows"? Perhaps that is part of the perpertrators' perverse plan: after a while everybody knows what really happened, but nobody will ever be brought to account because ordinary mortals like you and me can believe what we will, we do not count.

I was once young, and alas you become more cynical as you grow older. I used to believe a lot of things that I now know are untrue. When I was growing up in Britain, I used to think that the USA was the beacon of light to the world (I won't write what I think now)! More to the point I used to think that if you got enough signatures in a petition, you might change things. If everyone in the USA and the world "knew", it ain't going to change a thing.

Has President Kennedy's assasin, and the back men behind that, ever really been brought to justice? I mean "everybody" knows that the person who was convicted never did it, and we all "know" that most likely that too was an "insider job". Strangely enough, that event, though it be so long ago, may be a key injustice that needs solving before 911 can be solved. I suggest that the two are connected, not by the same people of course, but by the same structures of power.

The young person in me would like to think that people are going to be so outraged at the plight of the child who has lost his father, mother, and those who have lost loved ones in the slaughter of 911 - would risk all and DO something. But I am sorry, the truth is, that you will find that most people will leave that to someone else... which means it is never going to happen.

Yes, therefore, this makes me guilty myself, but if *you* are honest so are you. If the truth be told, we probably don't believe a lot of things the power elites are telling us, it is just an accepted if unsaid thing that "politics is a DIRTY game". That is what my late father used to tell me.

And believe me, attrocities like 911 are nothing new. Remember that those who write history write it to suit them. The only victory ordinary mortals like you and me can hope for is that one day, the history books will record "who done it" on 911. Yet by then, you can be sure that we - and everybody else involved - will be six feet under.
