Hippikos, one thing I do as a matter of policy is disbelieve conspiracy theories, especially conspiracy theories wrt wars between the United States and the unfreeworlders.

Conspiracy theory by nature is never the simplest nor the most coherent explanation of events. It's a product of frustrated romanticism, and habitually attributes to ongoing malice what is more simply accounted for by, well, stupidity. Remember that in politics, sometimes all that is presented is a choice of blunders.

Occam's Razor can't always be applied, especially in the Middle east. It's way more complicated than white hats/black hats. Just ask a painter how many whites and blacks there are, to get a feel for it.
