There are a lot of embaressing facts concerning a certain foreign intelligence service's involvement with 9/11.

I must say I am glad to see so many people do not trust what we have been told about 911.  I tend to think the people who have taken this poll are more intelligent and less trusting of the Bush administration.  In other words, they must be Democrats.

They are open now but if the paranoid Americans will ever stop being so paranoid they might learn something other than what your very propagandized news media is saying. \nI am tired of this argument being brought forward everyday by total idiots.

Despite what the others say I do think that the goverment had something to do with 9/11.my thoughts are slightly different though.I think the government wanted to start a war so that they wouldn't look so bad starting a fight over oil, money, or drug dealings gone bad.They blamed the whole thing on one terrorist but went after a different one.Here it is one war and another term later the issue of 9/11 and the truth still hasn't been understood. it is rarley even talked about. All those people died so that "key players" wouldn't look guilty.This is just an opinion not a fact.

Why ask? You don't even believe 9/11 happened the way it did and you apparently don't respond well to questions as to what you do believe happened. \n\nAs to this question, absolutely it should have been responded to exactly the way it was except that our government should stop worrying about what liberals say and carry out the war with all the necessary force. Further, I just don't understand why some believe that Saddam Hussein or the Taliban is so much preferred to the U.S. democratic political system. That's what we know so that's what we teach. Seems to have served you well.

I strongly believe in our right to privacy. However they are not listening to my phone calls, and if it would save American lives then I would gladly let them listen. One previous answer quoted Ben Franklin. However Franklin lived in a much different time and couldn't even imagine the enemyies we are facing today. How would you feel if they could have avoided the 911 attack by listening to a phone call and didn't because they did not want to infringe on the civil liberties of a few wack jobs.

Benjamin Franklin, one of the smartest American to ever stand on this soil said: "People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both."  What holds true at the founding of this country holds today.  I think you should rethink your ideas with less emotion and fear of 911.  You have the courage enough to face countless attacks without giving up any of the Rights that were written for you in the Bill of Rights of your Constitution.  Once you give up these rights...the tyrants win.

It is a workers comp employers responsibility case.\n\nNew York claims it is Federal responsibility because the job workers were injured on is the result of an attack on America.\n\nThe Fed says no 911 was an attack on New York and therefore NY problem.\n\nGo big Red Go

In my honest opinion I wouldn't be surprised. Did you know that the american government knew about a possible attack on Pearl Harbor. They knew about it but did nothing. Why? Because they wanted to join the war, but the american people did not want to. So they needed a push, for war. What better push for war than having the enemy attack you on your soil. The one thing maked me believe that the government had something to do w/911, is that there was no plane wreckage or luggage or anything resembling a plane when it went down in the Pentagon and in Penn. Why?

I am not comfortable with giving the government, with all the screw-ups it makes on a regular basis, that kind of power. You cannot bring someone back from the grave.

After 911 America said "OUCH" and Pres. Bush was forced to DO something to appease the outrage. \nTime has past and new people born. Lessons of the past have been forgotten and we have to keep learning things the HARD way.\n\nSo, whatever is bothering you, get over it. Toughen up and fight, fight, FIGHT!

They are afraid of terrorist retaliation if they don't.\n\nThis I believe;\nhttp://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

At times such revocations are done on the basis of temporary restrictions on the number of persons of a particular Nationalty permitted, persons who already went once being barred for allowing first timers and so on. In such cases there may be hope for re-opening the case. It would be helpful if you approach the US embassy or the Consulate emigration/Visa department through authorised Travel Agents, Training Institutes for TOEFL etc, who are familiar with the staff and can get a patient hearing of the case. \nIf the Visa was revoked for political reasons such as views hostile to the US etc., there is remote chance of renewing the Visa or issue of a new one, particularly after the 9/11 incident.

I think that the anger and frustration that they feel at being told to shut up--at being called un-American for voicing opinions and opposing the choices of our government--comes through loud and clear.  Many of us in this country feel that we have not been heard for the past six years.  The American public and congress have been kept in the dark about the majority of things that this administration has been doing, and anytime we question motives or intent we are told it has to do with 9-11, and we don't have the right to question it.  One has only to look at Bush's ratings to see that even Republicans are getting fed up with this administration (even if they won't admit it to a democrat).

Shutting the door? Nah. Its Bush after all. \n\nReason why it may remain open is because illegal immigrants provide a lot to the American economy and the government knows that. Hence why it would never close. Sure, they may be taking jobs away from honest Americans, but all the companies care is that they are also cheap labour.\n\nIf US really wanted to shut the "open" door for "terrorists", they would restrict the flights that come into the US itself.

I don't believe the official version of the 9/11.\nIf it was true why the government don't show us the videos of the plane crash at the Pentagon, Why the remains of the WTC were quickly destroyed, how can WTC 7 collapse with a small fire? Why the government and the EPA lied about the air quality surrounding the WTC after the collapse and putting the lives of hundreds if not thousands of men and women who were helping the recoveries in danger (most of them have health illness related to poor air quality these days)? Why the government can't give us the proper answers to these question. \nWhy can't we believe the government ? They lied for the war in Iraq, where's the WMD ? but at least we have remove the dictator.\n\nHere is one evidence of the collapse of the buildings were "pulled intentionally"\nA presentation made by professor Steven E. Jones.\nhttp://www.cerebellum.tv/fvideo/byu.php...\nThe power point slides\nhttp://www.checktheevidence.com/911/byus...\n\nEven in the 1960s the government were willing to create "terrorism" in order to attack cuba\nhttp://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/northwoods.pdf

If our American Governement - ( BUSH Govt.) mind their own business then they cannot answer to their own citizens the cause for the destruction World Trade Center and the hit on Pentagon. \n\nTo cheat their own people they are using certain tactics which is not minding their own business.
