Yes, it's all theater, and I think many Americans have figured that out (which is why voter turnout is often low). Sanders could not even begin to question the "War on Terror," let alone 9/11 itself. He would have put himself beyond the pale, in outer darkness with the "conspiracy nuts." As long as the terms of the debate are set so narrowly - as they were in the buildup to the War in Iraq (invade now, invade later? Big force, small force?) - we will never get anywhere. The Democrats are only debating the details of the global empire - where exactly to station the troops, which "humanitarian disaster" to focus on next, etc.
