I just need to add somthing now that i have finished watching the zeitgeist.
The main goal of terrorists is to sway election results in thair favour so that the western democracys will cut back thair militarys. The terrorist groups are just proxy fighters for muslim countrys like Iran. The only way Iran thinks it can surpass western countrys as a superpower is to get a weak left wing governments into power that will cut back military spending.
The best way to do this is by attacking the country and then blame the conservative government for the attack. People then believe it and start making movies like the Zeitgeist. Then in theroey people watch the propaganda and turn against the government and vote in one that will cut military spennding because the military is " bad ". This is what happend in Spain after the train bombings. The public voted out the pro american government and voted in a liberal government that pulled troops out of Iraq.
After the spain elections Osama Binladen declared a so called " truce " with europe. The reason he did this was because he was hoping that other european countrys would follow Spain. Thank goodness they didnt.
The reason we are actually in this credit crunch right now is the result of 9/11. Allan Greenspan, chairman of the federal reserve, was told to lower intrest rates after the 9/11 attacks to jumpstart the US economy so that it would not make the country look weak in wake of the terrorist attack. They wanted to end the post 9/11 ressesion. Thats why you see the bull run of the stock market and the housing boom after 9/11.
