That said, I don't think the leaders plan and execute (so to speak) such things, although Karl Rove certainly performed malevolent nasty tricks his whole career. No, I think things like the Trade Center attack and the Christian killing threat are used to maximum political advantage. Their encouragement and furthering of fear is part of their efforts to power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15846426.post-1143125762887327142006-03-23T08:56:00.000-06:002006-03-23T08:56:00.000-06:00I'm not that paranoid.

I'm sure Bush and Co. will make hay out of it, even if it is in a country in which they have some influence. (Or, the paranoid in me thinks it happened there BECAUSE they have influence, just as perhaps 9/11 may have been allowed to happen). You have to have an enemy to influence people and wield power, as Bush and Co. have done. As Kernneth Burke said, "I know you're a Christian, but who are you a Christian against."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
