There's a key fact that is being completely ignored in the overall "critique" of the terrorism in America:
the terrorist bombing campaign in Russia in 1999.
Here's the piece from my website on this, with a mainstream source:

"Vladimir Putin, head of the FSB (i.e. the KGB) was appointed Russian prime minister on
August 9th of that year (1999). On 25th August, Moscow journalist Alexander Zhilin wrote
that a plan with the codename "Storm in Moscow" was being hatched in the Kremlin
involving terrorist attacks against the Moscow population. On August 31, the first bomb
blew apart a Moscow shopping centre. Throughout September 1999 a series of bombings
targeted civilian apartment buildings, killing hundreds of people. An Islamic terrorist
group was blamed (one which no-one had heard of before - the Russian secret services,
so complacent, having not even bothered to create it). This allowed Putin to reignite the
war in Chechnya, and to grab power at home, becoming President the following year,
and quietly suffocating Russia's already ridiculous democracy. The western media felt
able to suggest the obvious - that Russian intelligence were behind the bombings. It is
because there are such striking similarities with the subsequent American developments
that Russia's model equivalent has had to be magically forgotten.

These attacks have been ignored by all the critics of the official "911" story, but they are
very helpful in understanding what is going on.
The current US imperial expansion is a consequence of the collapse of Russia's
empire.The US is moving into areas it couldn't previously get into - the Middle East, the
Balkans, the Caspian Basin. At the same time Russia is trying to hang on to as much
control of its former satellites as it can. It was Russia that first staged terror attacks for
this purpose, soon followed by the US.
As I write this, Russia is extending its own "war on terror" into Georgia, to US
displeasure. Behind the united front against terrorism is a struggle over the rich pickings
from the collapse of an empire, with terrorism used as the justification for invasion, and
also for military occupation of countries around the the ones that are actually being
attacked.
One advantage of drawing attention to Russia's parallel terror war is that, since it is
obviously the work of their "security services", and the western media were themselves
talking about this fact, it undermines the compulsory unthinkableness of the truth about
the US equivalent.

Yet every "critical" site that I've reminded about this, has continued to ignore it. You'd have thought it never happened. My own site is the only one that I've seen on the net that has even mentioned it.
They have also tended to lose the 2 key proofs of the origins of the American terrorism (that the war in Afghanistan had been scheduled in advance, and
that the biological element of the terrorism came from within the U.S. "security" establishment )beneath a sea of trivia. To what extent this is because they are fucking idiots, and to what extent they are deliberate diversionaries is sometimes hard to tell, but it will be the latter quite often.
