This guy taught Ethnic Studies my freshman year. He has a Ph.D. He's been teaching for more than 20 years. He's been to 15 countries, and has spent as long as 2 years on overseas studying expedition, such as with Native tribes in far northern Canada. I think he's pretty damn brilliant.
Anyway, he believes that Bush had prior knowledge of 9/11 and deliberately let it happen for political gain and to give a pretense to go to war to set up oil pipelines. And he showed my class a video making that claim. According to many people, that makes him a lunatic and a nutjob, despite all his credentials.
I say no.
VERY true. IMO why would a totally separate cause of terrorists do that at random? THis MUST've been set up. Besides, Bush wanted to look like a hero, and "coincidentally" this happened during the worst time of his campaign.
