1917, with the sinking of the Lusitania, even though Woodrow Wilson campaigned on the slogan "He kept us out of war" and even though the German embassy in the U!.S!. took out an ad in the New York Times (and elsewhere, I believe) warning anyone who decided to be a passenger on the Lusitania that, considering its planned route, it would be torpedoed!.!.!.!. Therefore, Wilson knew in advance that the Lusitania would be sunk, but he used the sinking as a pretext for entering the war, which wasn't the first time a president either cooked up something (e!.g!., the supposed Gulf of Tonkin incident) or let something happen that he knew would happen (e!.g!., some sort of Japanese retaliation for the U!.S!. refusal to ship rubber to Japan) in order to get us into war!. This is one reason why some people believe that a number of suspicious events surround 9/11, considering there was no plane wreckage in the Pentagon or in the Pennsylvania field and considering that World Trade Center 7, which only had windows blown out but received no other structural damage, suddenly fell in what some say was a controlled demolition!. In other words, the argument is that, since the U!.S!. has entered every war in the past 100 years or so in some dishonest fashion, this is most likely the case with 9/11 as well, especially when you take into account the overwhelming number of members of the Project for the New American Century who are or were part of the Bush Administration!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
