Lisa Curis and her South Asian Study Centre need to do their homework.It is now common knowledge that explosives were used in 911 not only on the towers but also WTC 7 which no plane impacted.How did Osama and Al Qaeda get at least 100 tons of explosives (nano thermite) into these 3 buildings without most people knowing?

Here is the forensic scientific proof http://www.ae911truth.org/ and also see http://patriotsquestion911.com/

As Kevin Bracken says,it is about time we faced the truth of 911.China has warned the West that an attack on Pakistan is an attack on its sovereignity.

It is also about time the war mongering West backed by the banking,industrial,military complex stopped these wars of imperialism under the guise of terrorism.The West will not win a convertional war against Russia,China,Iran and possibly India.It will end up being nuclear.

Lisa you state:

“The US cannot be seen before the world, or more especially by the American people, turning a blind eye to Pakistan’s complicity in the murder of US citizens serving in Afghanistan.”

Perhaps you should be asking the world at large why it is turning a blind eye to the United States complicity in the murder of Afghani, Pakistani, Yemeni, Somali and many other civilian peoples in the name of U.S. Hegemony.

The U.S. is a morally corrupt nation that only serves its self interest, what a terrible article and how do you justify your blind faith to such a quasi religious stance on killing more people in the name of so called freedom? Pitiful

Lisa is another one of these writers from some miscellaneous Foundation, Institute, and on, all mouthpieces for groups who are never prepared to identify their real motives. We have them here as well such as the Lowy Institute, another with an agenda that is seldom of value to this country and knowing the habits of the founder, probably tax deductible as well. One should ask the highly esteemed soccer person about his past history in the Golan Brigade in the early days of Palestinian ethnic cleansing.
Hard to respect a man like that. It is a familar venue for Gillard, as one would expect.

It costs nothing to come up with a name as in this case. You can see such "Foundations" every day, even in these columns.

Telling this writer about the 9/11 realities, Arjay, would be a waste of time. If the truth was known, she is in her position as part of the administrations's front line troops promoting theories that have little to do with the real world.

Poor old Pakistan. It is determined to rid its country of American influences, the evil CIA, American troops, Mossad assassination groups, all designed to disrupt the country. Now it seems that the US wants to use Pakistan as a scapegoat for anything that happens in that part of the world. This was mentioned six months ago as an objective of the US administration. Surely no one could be naive enough to think for one second that the US with its terrorist history and its war record over the last sixty years, over 200 wars, all designed to expand the US military influence and add to the 780 bases now owned by this bankrupt country, has any real interest in the people in that geography. They are creating enough instability to maintain their defence spending and to take over this country as the next step, after they are forced perhaps by public opinion, to leave their current military dalliance and drug cropping in Afghanistan.

It is hard to see any moral values in the US today.

Geoff of Perth.There are THREE major reasons the War Mongering Neo-cons of West want war.

1/ They have been caught out murdering their own people in the crimes of 911.

2/ The GFC which they orchestrated is causing civil unrest.People are beginning to realise bailouts and the counterfeiting of our currencies by the US Fed,IMF and Bank of International Settlements is stealing our wealth.

3/The neo cons see the invasion of other countries as a means of stealing more wealth and escape from their own people who are fast realising who the real criminals are.

Arjay:

I think you need some assistance to wake from your nightmare. You seem to have a major problem with Americans regarding trust RJ. Surely you dont take seriously for one minute, the theory that GW and Co blew up the twin towers killing three thousand of their own citizens do you?

And theory two; they counterfeit our currency in order to send us broke!

No No its not on mate!

...But this point is true:

"As policy, it (USA) would not distinguish between terrorist organizations and nations or governments that harbored them".

...So it has a clear policy to retaliate against (in this case) Pakistan at will; but the pressing question is how? This article establishes one line of thought which would offer a reasonable solution in the short term with limited cost and limited involvement of allied forces.

...An added advantage to them is the abandonment of a treacherous and unreliable ally (sic), and fundamentally transforming those savings into additional security measures at the border. It is a simple strategy which would work in Americas favor

Diver Dan address the following;

1/Nearly freefall acceleration through the path of greatest resistance in all 3 911 buildings.This defies the laws of physics.

2/ Impossible symmetry of debris distribution.Natural collapses due to fire are organic and cause buildings to fall over.

3/ Extremely rapid onset of destruction.

4/Over 100 first reponders reporter explosions & flashes.

5/Multi tonne steel sections ejected laterally 200m at 80 kph.Human bone fragments found atop buildings 200m away.How did a gravitational collapse pulverise human bone and evaporate the flesh.Very few bodies found in tack.

6/Mid air pulverisation of 90,000 tonnes of concrete and metal decking.

7/Massive volume of pyroclastic like clouds.We see this in volcanoes.It take enormous amounts of energy to do this.

8/ 370 m diameter debris field; no pancaked floors found.

9/Isolated explosive ejections 20-40 stories below the demolition front.These in the demo industry are called squibs or miss timed explosions.

10/Total building destruction;dismemberment of steel frame.

11/Several tonnes of molten iron found all 3 high rises.Aircraft fuel burns at less than half the temps required to melt steel.

12/Huge steel girders cut at 45 deg as if an oxy torch had done it.

13/Evidence of thermite incendaries found in the steel and dust samples.

14/FEMA analysis;sulphidation.oxidation& intergranular melting.

15/No precedent for a steel framed high rise collapse due to fire.

This is just the start of the anomalies Diver Dan.
