Not to mention the fact that this is the 2'nd time in a decade that Aristide has been forced from power (or did he forget that little detail?) the USA returned him to power LAST time. I guess he is just pissed off we didn't/wouldn't do it again.

There was a coup indeed - it was by his own people tired of corruption, famine and poverty saying enough is enough. -LB

GWB probably had Aristide ushered out because his KKK wizard wanted him to and also so that Cheney and Halliburton could corner the market on Haitian vodoo products.

If we were going to pursue coups around the world, there are many more strategic places to do it than Haiti. Honestly, it's not that important nor does it have anything valuable to anyone who would care to exploit it.

Well, lets do the math. First, we can postulate anyone so fanatical that he stands in line for 2 days in the rain for ANYthing, let alone a freaking STORE to open just to say "I was the first customer - wheee!" likely = single, 40-something loser still living in mom and dads basement. Lets say 20 years rent free @ a conservative (for SF) $1,000 a month x 12 months x 20 years = $240k in cost of living expenses that he can blow on computer stuff instead.

As for income, even flippping burgers part time for $5k a year works out to $100,000 over 20 years.

Sure - the numbers pan out. -LB

Well, I'm no demolitions expert, yet I can clearly see from watching the video there is NO evidence of any explosives used to bring it down. The entire top of the north tower collapses all at once and it all happens at or above the point of entry of the aircraft.

Exactly what part of what happened on 9-11 do you not agree with? That an airliner crashing into a sky scraper can't produce a hot enough fire to soften the steel superstructure and cause it to collapse on itself? You question "why didn't the 1975 fire, set on the 11th floor, which spread to 6 other floors and burned for 3 hours, cause a collapse?" Gee... I donno... maybe because that fire was a little different in nature?? Maybe because there weren't several hundred gallons of jet fuel spilled thruout a few floors to cause everything and ANYTHING it touched to burn at high temperature???

No. Convince *us* it WAS a controlled demolition. Since you also said the antenna started to collapse before the rest of the structure (when it clearly did NOT), the burden of proof is on you. Please cite evidence other than "what (your) eyes tell you". -LB
