Goodness sakes, Bill. ;-) No, I did not mean that napalm was used to bring down those buildings. (The printed word can so easily be misconstrued...)

I was paraphrasing that line from "Apocalypse Now". When the lunatic air cavalry officer said, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like...victory."

I was thinking to myself that that is how certain a lot of people are of their opinions on something like whether or not someone in the government could have been involved in setting up the 911 attacks..."

The sheer bliss of knowing that one is right, dead right, and that those who think otherwise are wrong, so wrong, and so foolish in their wrongness. The intoxicating arrogance of it all. Mmmm...boy.

It must be great to be that sure.

You can find that sort of thing on either side of this particular debate, just like with any other debate one could care to mention.

Now just don't make the mistake of taking all my above musings on human frailty personally, Bill, and we'll be okay. I'm philosophizing about humanity in general, meaning, all of us.

There isn't one of us here who has anything but his opinion, and opinions are conjectural in nature. Any one of us might be wrong, in other words. Maybe you. Maybe me. Maybe Spaw.

It doesn't matter how smart you are or how good you are with words or how many people think you're right...you can still be wrong. I'm well aware I might be wrong in my theories about 911, but I still have an opinion, and I might as well express it. Same as you.


"From false premises, anything follows"...

Yeah, exactly. Like the Iraq war...launched upon false premises (about WMDs). What if the government's stated opinion that the airplane hits and resulting fires alone brought down buildings 1 and 2, and later building 7....is a false premise?

If so, and you believe them, anything can follow.

You don't know. You have an opinion. I don't know. I have an opinion. Same goes for everyone else here. I don't know of anyone here who is in the position to have anything BUT an opinion.
