re: #131 Killgore Trout

It the same reason 9-11 conspiracies are so popular in the Muslim world. It’s a very odd phenomenon. I think it comes from the fact that they realize they support a morally reprehensible action. This way they can simultaneously be happy it happened and rationalize that they aren’t guilty.

Agreed.
Right after the Beslan school massacre, I happened to be at the local convenience store to buy cigs. The guy behind the counter was an Iraqi (turned out he was here illegally). When I made a comment about the horror of Beslan, he smirked and said emphatically “The Jews did it”. I laughed at him. After I picked my jaw up off the floor.
