On the contrary, I think that it takes very, very little to terrify Americans...witness the immense number of imaginary or unrealistic things they're frightened of or outraged by (which was the point of my bringing up the Iraqi incubator myth). It's not a matter of what happens so much as how it's represented.<BR/><BR/>I also don't think 9/11 woke Americans up; I'm more inclined to Slavoj Zizek's view that it alowed them to stay asleep.<BR/><BR/>Last, I think the contemptuous language you use - Americans are "sheep," "lemmings," "overfed," and so on - is revealing in terms of the appeal of the controlled demolition theory, and theories like it. A lot of "truthseekers" seem to feel that the more violent scenario is preferable because more violence is what Americans <I>deserve</I>...that's a big part of the appeal of this fantasy, in my view.Philahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849261651028725772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-90147626642007021252007-06-15T05:44:00.000-07:002007-06-15T05:44:00.000-07:00It was necessary to scare the living s@#$ out of u...It was necessary to scare the living s@#$ out of us and make sure we toed the line like the lemmings and sheep we are.<BR/>I for one wasn't all that freaked out about a plane hitting a building.
