Someone made a cogent point to me, that the Taliban government of Afghanistan in 2001 was a theocracy. Their whole government, their whole system of law was based Sharia law from the Quran and Hadith, the holy books of Islam, and attacks on civilians are forbidden.  

And then it occurred to me that Osama bin laden was a devout Muslim too. So, did he really plan attacks on civilians? And then I started thinking about the idea of him living in a cave in Afghanistan and planning the 9/11 attacks, and it occurred to me that, even if he was willing to kill civilians,  and even if he was driven to kill American civilians, how could his mind have conceived of something as grandiose and far-fetched as the 9/11 attacks? What would have made him think it was even possible?  What would have made him think that it was at all practical? Why would he have thought that it had a high probability of success?

I doubt that that he would have ever conceived of anything as grandiose as 9/11. But, even if he did, it's the kind of thing that, upon reflection and examination, he would have realized that it was fraught with too much risk, too much uncertainty, and too many obstacles and hurdles. And then think about the fact that the plan didn't even start with having trained pilots. It started with having to send these guys over here to attend flight schools at these piddly airports, in order to learn to fly- from scratch- Cesnas, so as to eventually commandeer colossal airliners and fly them into buildings? 

What I'm saying is that it was too far to go; the plan had too far to go. The distance from A to Z was too great, and so many things could go wrong. It would have involved making so many unlikely assumptions. 


Of course, we have been down this road before with the JFK assassination. Supposedly, Lee Harvey Oswald brought a rifle to work in a self-made bag made and presumed that no one would notice him carrying such an unexpected and unusual object thru the building. Then, he presumed that he could shoot Kennedy from the 6th floor and that nobody else would be up there or burst in on him. Then, he presumed that he could hit Kennedy even though he had never done that kind of sniper shooting before, ever, and hadn't been shooting of late, at all. And even though he was just going to leave the rifle there, knowing that it would be found, and knowing that once found, it could be traced to him, he did it anyway. According to WC Attorney David Belin, Oswald's plan after the shooting was to run away to Mexico, using his pistol as an ATM. But, what about his wife and two children, whom he was very fond of? He had no qualms about giving them up, did he? Letting them starve? And what was he going to do when he got to Mexico? I don't think Belin thought it through, but don't you think Oswald would have before he shot Kennedy?

The point is that even if Oswald had a sudden urge to kill Kennedy (and you'd have to be as pink in the head as Mark "Pink" O'Blazney to think that) he'd have thought about it some and quickly talked himself out of it. And, I am saying that the same thing is true of Osama bin laden concerning 9/11. Because, let's face it, it's a cockamamie idea. Nobody in his right mind could think that he could do it.  And Osama bin laden was a civil engineer. If he was alive today, he'd probably be a member of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. And as an engineer, he was familiar with and had practice with "feasibility plans." This plan wasn't feasible. 

Oh, but it did happen, you say? Oh no it didn't. It happened, but not that way. And regardless, the point is that no one would have had the expectation of being able to pull it off. And that includes Osama bin laden. 

There is a childish naivete' to both the official JFK story and the official 9/11 story. It's like the whole country has lost its mind, except, of course,  for the truthers.
