Thats the hubris of man, the more power and responsibility we attain the more we are likely to use it for selfish purposes.

The music was rather distracting and too loud.

In light of how the military has evolved over the past 60 years, THEY, and the massive machine of industry that they support, are who stand to benefit from 9/11, much more so than some rag-tag bunch of sandies-

Think of how easy to justify for a machine that huge, a few structures,(one of which was a repository, no doubt of some incriminating evidence), and the next 20 years of history, spent chasing the Taliban, sworn enemy of the US, and God.......remember the cold war???? How do you make money on war when there is no war???? You create one......you fabricate a need, provide the solution-

No upvote for the needless addition of music.
