south park imported the hardy boys and their dad to solve the 9/11 conspiracy along with a more mundane local mystery last night.
you decide for yourself if my interpretation of the satire flies: what i got is the w house promotes the conspiracy theory to associate their critics with nuts who believe it.
it's sort of like the reichstag fire: whether or not nazis started it, they fully exploited it to expand their power, so some folk inevitably see 9/11 parallels.
since it's widely believed nazis did start the fire, it's not entirely illogical to think 9/11 might be an inside job too.
the actual bush connection is a bit less sinister but far from innocuous: reagan and bush's daddy armed and otherwise supported mujahidin against russia in afghanistan in the 1980s. al qaeda grew out of that and turned anti-US in the '90s.
9/11 is what's called blowback, not an inside job nor a US govt conspiracy, but still traceable to unintended consequences of US actions.
unlike south park, it ain't funny.
