I’m so disappointed in these students from my Alma Mater, GMU. While GMU has expanded into a world-class research university, the students at Mason and other universities have dumbed down by design. If we don’t understand the past, we are condemned to repeat it. These students don’t have the fire to learn in their own accord. I graduated in 1983, couldn’t sit at a computer and have knowledge at our fingertips. We went to our professors, libraries for knowledge. We often went to the Library of Congress for the day, for fun or research. We were taught in high school to be curious, some of our parents also instilled a sense of curiousity in us. How sad this is, I wonder how much these students know about Pearl Harbor, the Kennedy assasination or early space flight and Operation Paperclip.

I’m sure these kids do well in their courses; I don’t think they are stupid, just taught to accept only what they are told.

It's hard to really put your finger on what really happened unless you look at other events before & after. My conclusion is this was a splinter group within one of the several US domestic intelligence agencies that did this to demonize an outside 'aggressor' & turn the US outward to focus on external threat(s). Basically America attacked itself on 9/11. Also it fits the total absence of a debris pile at the base of the Twin Towers. A new kind of weapon was used that turns debris to dust instantly as the destruction is occurring.
