Here’s a “what if” many are asking. What if Bush knew exactly what was coming? We’ve all seen his rather puzzling reaction to the news with the class of grade school kids. What if Giuliani was in on it too? All of the footage shows the mayor was extremely calm and collected from the start.

The possible sub-plots are all there on the internet. Owner of the towers needs to take them down. NYC would never agree to a planned destruction of the towers. Owner insures the property out the wazoo. The government and big business concoct an “everybody wins” scenario. Towers come down. The nation is outraged. Find the perps! Attack their strongholds! Collect the insurance, protect the oil interests, it’s a win - win situation.

Oh, there’s that little problem of a few thousand lives lost and hundreds of thousands thrown into disarray. Well “you’ve got to break a few eggs to make an omelet” and “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few”. These were unthinkable thoughts only 40 years ago. The JFK assassination opened our eyes to the possibility that all is not what it seems.

Is it possible that the resolve and bravery of the mayor was bolstered by the fact that he knew the worst was over? There would be no follow up attack. A one time correction to better mankind and the country. Easy to show up at Yankee Stadium with your son if you know there were no terrorists to begin with. Easy to be brave if you were never threatened.

Exactly what did Giuliani do that was heroic? Rudy standing firm? What the heck does that mean?
