Let's assume for the sake of argument, that 911 was a genuine attack on the US and the Bush government was innocent of any complicity and were caught unawares.
Then it becomes known that senior members of the Saudi royal family were involved in financing those involved in 911.
And the US government, knowing this, doesn't try to prosecute said Saudi royals or seek other measures to bring justice against those guilty of such a horrendous crime, but rather seeks to stifle publication of the evidence for diplomatic and business reasons.
But on the contrary, decide to go to war with a sovereign nation that had absolutely no involvement in 911, killing up to 500,000 Iraqis in the process.
What does this say about the ethical and moral state of America and the world we now live in?

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
