Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? The facts speak for themselves.
While Not Earth-Shattering...the UK's Iraq Inquiry...
is revealing to many what we all know about the WARS being planned well in advance of 9/11.
Anything that points people in the right direction should be celebrated.
Why We Fight
(Title of an article posted at Globalresearch.ca). Here's a snip:
Today Britain continues to export capital on a scale unmatched by any other country apart from the United States. By 2006 British capital assets overseas were worth the equivalent of 410 per cent of Britain's GDP. This is the highest of any major capitalist economy. Much of this investment is in the United States and Europe, but a significant amount continues to be invested in extractive industries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. An even greater amount of money from abroad (mainly US) is invested in British financial and industrial companies, many of them now under external ownership. It is this interlocking of capital between the UK and the much stronger US economy which helps to bind UK and US foreign policy together. Britain's oil and gas giants, its mining companies and its arms manufacturers have a powerful and ongoing relationship with government and an effective lobbying influence in the office of successive Prime Ministers.
All of these strands come together with the drive for 'energy security' by the US and UK governments. It is the desire to protect overseas investments and control the strategic materials such as oil, gas and minerals that drive the foreign and defence policy of both countries. Britain no longer has the global military reach to defend its overseas investments. Increasingly it depends on the United States for this. The unwritten agreement is that, in return, the British government supports US policy around the world. The same is true for Britain's biggest arms manufacturer, BAE Systems. It has grown rapidly in recent years to become the second biggest arms manufacturer in the world, mainly through the acquisition of other US companies. It now gets more business from the Pentagon than the MoD. UK support for America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan certainly helps to oil the wheels of the UK arms business.

Iraq inquiry: Tony Blair 'agreed to regime change' in meeting at

Iraq inquiry: Tony Blair 'agreed to regime change' in meeting at George Bush's ranch
Tony Blair and George Bush may have agreed the need for regime change in Iraq in private discussions at the US president's ranch, Sir Christopher Meyer has told the Iraq Inquiry.
Sir Christopher, who was Britain's ambassador to the US between 1997 and 2003, said the April 2002 meeting in Crawford, Texas, appeared to be a major turning point.
He said in evidence: ''I took no part in any of the discussions and there was a large chunk of that time when no adviser was there.

Who's who in the Iraq inquiry
''I know what the Cabinet Office says were the results of the meeting but to this day I am not entirely clear what degree of convergence was, if you like, signed in blood at the Crawford ranch.''
He said the change in stance was evidenced in a speech given by the Prime Minister the following day.
''To the best of my knowledge, I might be wrong, this was the first time that Tony Blair had said in public 'regime change','' Sir Christopher said.
''What he was trying to do was to draw the lessons of 9/11 and apply them to the situation in Iraq. which led - I think not inadvertently but deliberately - to a conflation of the threat posed by Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
''When I heard that speech, I thought that this represents a tightening of the UK/US alliance and a degree of convergence on the danger Saddam Hussein presented.''
Sir Christopher, who wrote a controversial memoir, DC Confidential, about his time in Washington, is listed as the only witness on the third day of the official Iraq inquiry.

"Rice raised Iraq hours after 911 attacks, inquiry told"
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/11/26/rice-iraq-british-inquiry.html#...
Surprisingly, the moderator at the CBC website is allowing blatant "9/11 was an inside job," comments. This is the first I have seen this here. Not to mention the vote-up support from other readers.
This, as part of the British Iraq inquiry, is a positive sign that the official story is unraveling a little more and hopefully more people will continue to ask questions.
