Could Vancouver 2010 be the next 9/11?

The towers were built to withstand multiple hits from a 747, a much larger plane. They did this with the collision of a bomber into the Empire State Building from decades before in mind. WTC 1 and 2 were among the strongest, if not the strongest skyscapers ever built. Not to mention, the most fire resistant. We needed a pretext for a "hundred year war".

Every major war in history was started with false pretext. Hitler burned the Reichstag and blamed it on Poland. The CIA as gone on record admitting the Gulf of Tonkin incident was staged, the list goes on.

Whatever, believe what you will. I know trying to change minds is a useless endeavor. In 50 years when we're still in the middle east, and your grandson is drafted, some of this may make more sense.
