Random thought:

You've no doubt heard the conspiracy theories about 9/11...it was not Al Qaeda, it was actually some secret cabal of dark figures in and around the US government. They point to any number of facts surrounding that horrible day, and they connect the dots as they do. It's sorta interesting, sorta terrifying, but for me ultimately unsatisfactory as an explanation.

But then talk to a neocon. We're IN WWIII, they exclaim. Khobar Towers, Spain, London, USS Cole, 9/11...it's the legions of Islamofascists. Don't believe us? YOU are in denial. YOU are Neville Chamberlain. THEY are Adolph Hitler. If we don't act now, you will be dead or kneeling to Mecca before the decade's out.

Does anyone else see a common theme here? Chicken Little, call your office.
