unite around this "Truth Movement." Do you think it will, Ben? I don't..
   
  Comrade Ben:
   
  Truthfully, as I said before I doubt that it will, since it hasn't already done so with all the evidence previously asserted. My problem is that there lies this ambiguity between 9/11 and all the extremist policies passed afterwords. Mark rises a valid point with his example of the WMD's and the veil of ignorance which lies over the peoples eyes. I think the writer misses the telos of the anti-war movement. There are no WMD's,  they are stealing their oil, and innocent people are dying daily. Mark's stance is understood and a lot of the left is taking that stance. My previous post was merely a failed attempt to open up a discussion of any new articulations or analysis which may be relevant now (it is clear there is not) I do however think that adding the 9/11 truth movement as a tier to the anti-war movement will help demystify some of the misconceptions held by modern liberals who believe 9/11 happened as is but maybe the war is wrong. Beyond that the truth campaign has
 limited usefulness it won't end the war and it shouldn't be our main focus. In short keep on working with the 9/11 truth to break down the governments construct in peoples minds and raise public awareness; but understand the truth of how the war in Afghanistan started won't be enough to end or challenge U.S intervention in the middle east specifically Iraq; and the left shouldn't rally around such misconceptions
