[Vision2020] Perspective

[Dick Sherwin]

I know some of you believe the CIA is behind all the terrorist acts, and, even planned and carried out the bombing of the World Trade Towers on 9/11.  I know some still spread the lies that the Pentagon was struck by a missile, fired from who-knows-where and that flight 93 was sabatoged by agents of our own government, under orders of President Bush.

Some claim the phony claims of a radical from the BBC are true and the Islamic Religion is being chastised wrongly for carrying out acts of terrorism around the world.

To all this, I say:  I believe you are an idiot if you think this way.
