re: #156 EPR-radar

A big part of the difficultly with 9/11 is that closure like we had in WWII is impossible, even if GW Bush et al. hadn’t cynically used the tragedy to start an irrelevant war in Iraq.

I think in Bush’s case it wasn’t so much cynicism as it is naivete. I think he and a lot of the PNAC types really, truly believed all they needed to do was to kick over the anthill, and everything would come up Western-style pluralistic democracies.
