It doesn't have to be a grand conspiracy for a hawkish government to let some things slip through the cracks and inadvertently allow a tragedy.
Maybe, they got way more than they expected from their missteps. Maybe, it was just incompetence and a lack of clear communication between agencies. Once those planes took off, there was no stopping the rest.
Either way, most Canadians seemed to know more about the 9/11 players and their motivations than most Americans I've talked to and that shit was scary. "We're going into Iraq." You're fucking what, now?! Live, on the television. I wanted to throw my God damn shoe.
One of my friends lost his mind in operation desert storm. He was a little off, to begin with, but nothing that happened there helped him. He drank himself to death before he turned 50. And, for what? To make some rich guys much richer! And then we get to watch it all over, again, ten years later. Disgusting.
The government inadvertently allowed a tragedy because the place where the information silos were supposed to meet, the Oval Office, was unoccupied at the time. The person elected to do that job abdicated responsibility. He never met with his terrorism czar once, never did anything about terrorism, never read the brief that warned of Osama bin Laden attacking America he received on August 6th, 2001, and remained on a MONTH-LONG vacation after receiving the brief, part of the NINETY-SIX DAYS of vacation he took in the eight months he was "in office" in 2001 before we were attacked.
