I, too, am under the belief that "Al Quaida", however one chooses to spell it, was created by my country to support plans to keep fear a viable tool in the war on citizens.

What is the ultimate goal of this alleged war on citizens? Ive always wondered that. I mean, at 2/3 of Americans hardly pay attention to much that happens beyond their front yard and the politicians are allowed to preen and pontificate without ever addressing real issues in any meaningful way.
There is no war on the citizenry because many of them surrendered long ago.
It is ridiculous to ignore a movement that has murdered thousands of innocents but then again, many ignored the Nazis too. Or were the Nazis also a CIA creation?

If only you had the control to decide who posts in your thread. Maybe someday, right? In the meantime, try debating and discussing the issues you have brought to the table and do try to keep up without dismissing those who hold a different viewpoint. Debate the topic, not the poster.
