We can chant that line to the survivors of 911

9-11 was indeed a tragedy, but it was not an isolated
"freak" event, rather it was the culmination of a pernicious
chain of causality, many of the links forged by US
arrogance, ignorance, and greed.

The U.S. government may have been the instrument by which
these links were forged, but the motivation was *NOT* the
"will of the people" or "popular outrage," but the greed and
doctrinaire ideology of small politically influential
groups.

No one is looking to you for an analysis of the causes of 9/11.
