That's interesting; considering that it was Dick Cheney's company
(Haliburton) that did the cement job on the well only 24 hours before it

And not just Arabs. Some Americans think it was the US Government that did
9/11 just to start a war. There are web sites devoted to this and various
other explanations.

The piddly little 4 trees we planted in town seem so futile.
