Mocking the Truth

There was a documentary on the BBC last night about the so-called "9/11 Truth" movement, the bunch of disgusting morons who believe that 9/11 was an inside job by the American government in order to start a war with the Arab nations to obtain their oil.

Surprisingly, it was actually very good. Some time was devoted to hearing these sickos' points of view and then the key arguments were thoroughly debunked. The documentary finished with the completely reasonable conclusion that the evidence does not support a 9/11 conspiracy; however the evidence DOES support the idea that the FBI was criminally negligent in failing to arrest two of the terrorists well in advance of the attacks, and that this information was covered up.

The notion that the Americans (the Jews were also involved in this elaborate plot, apparently) would kill 3000 of their own people in order to start a war is not only downright wrong; it is also deeply offensive and a despicable position to hold. Creating this kind of moral equivalence between a Western country and the kind of evil Islamic barbarians who DID commit this dreadful act of war is lower than the low. It is these "Truthers" and their ilk who truly help the terrorists' cause, and they should be profoundly ashamed of themselves.
