Why Pakistani Public is so keen on Conspiracy Theories?
Raza Habib Raja
There is one thing the Muslim world in general and the Pakistan’s educated public in particular, truly excel in is the art of coming up with amazingly complex conspiracy theories. According to these conspiracy theories everything in Pakistan, particularly disruptive things, are planned in Washington and with active consultation of Israel and India. The theories display amazing combination of permanence and progressiveness. Permanence is shown in the eventual blame which keeps affixed on USA and progressiveness is in the interpretation of changing facts and ground realities where it is amended in fantastic ways to reach the same conclusion.
Consider this: In 1990s the entire public and media were praising Taliban. When Clinton attacked Osama’s bases through cruise missiles in late 1990s, Nawaz Sharif almost lost his government and had to bring “shariah” laws to survive. At that point Taliban were heroes and robin hoods which had defied the “imperialist” USA. Then 9/11 happened. All the media was busy absolving Osama of terrorism and I remember the title of a lead English weekly magazine” Guilty unless proved Innocent”. Then Osama on video accepted responsibility and suddenly the very same media started branding him an agent of USA. After 9/11 whatever happened whether in Pakistan (multiple suicide attacks and Benazir’s assassination), India (Mumbai bomb blasts and attacks in November 2008) and UK (7/7 attacks), was interpreted as US conspiracy to blame Taliban and Pakistan with the eventual aim to take control of nuclear arsenal. Media and our public were so fixated that ALL Taliban atrocities which were being reported were dismissed as complete USA funded propaganda. Eventually when the Nizam e Adl happened and Sufi Muhammad finally spoke on national TV and live, our media finally realized that what was in store for the nation. Unfortunately, instead of learning the media took a U turn and Taliban themselves were labelled as USA agents. Once again a spin was given to ensure that blame falls entirely on USA alone. Before Bait Ullah Masud’s death according to the brigade of conspiracy theorists he was an American agent who with collaboration of some “bad” Taliban was trying to destabilize Pakistan. Some theorists interpreted him a “strategic” asset of USA who would never be caught thus giving the excuse to USA to stay in the region. Of course his death debunked these absurd theories but conspiracy theorists were quick to give a new spin that US no longer “needed” him therefore removed him!!!!Well this theory is quite identical to one about Saddam Hussain according to which he too was an agent. Although he only became one after he had been defeated in the first Gulf war in 1991. Before that I remember that our print media was actually portraying him as “liberator” of Palestine and his posters were selling like hot cakes. When the second Iraq war started and he disappeared, the theory that he will never be caught had many takers. However, after his death and hanging, he was again labelled as a hero.
The recent case of Raymond Davis has once again opened the Pandora box and the fact that he may be an intelligence officer has led to a new wave of absurd theories. In fact I even heard that Raymond affair was linked with suicide bombings and even the murder of Shabaz Bhatti! Even relatively credible Television networks have been spinning the same nonsense.
Well my point of view is not to absolve US of its mistakes but to introspect on this mindset where we fail to even acknowledge our own role in this extremism. Terrorism is a multiple factor phenomenon and all the factors have played their respective roles. Moreover at times these factors have been interconnected and reciprocal in nature.
This particular mindset creates various problems, the chief being our inability of look into other factors and genuine issues which may have originated because of our faults. An obvious case is of Baluchistan, where problems may have been occurring due to years of our neglect of the resource rich but still the poorest province. In our single minded conspiracy theory mindset all the turmoil there is attributed to Indian as well US involvement. This mindset prevalent in the dominant sections of media makes it difficult for any serious and objective intellectual discourse into the problems of that province. Obviously if the problems are solely due to US conspiracy, then automatically the grievances will be interpreted as mere propaganda or something merely instilled by foreign powers to destabilize Pakistan. Moreover, this attitude has often prevented formation of consensus to take decisive action at the right time. Our media virtually allowed extremism to take complete foothold in NWFP by consistently either calling problems as US instigated or through outright denial of any atrocities by Taliban. The political will which is crucial for military action could never develop and on the contrary despite horrible suicide attacks which were openly claimed by Taliban, the media successfully painted it as merely US war.
But the problem goes beyond even this. Lately this conspiracy theory mindset is being projected as “proof” of patriotism and any alternate paradigm of analysis is actually labelled as blind endorsement of West or unpatriotic behaviour. Two years ago, I remember when Fasi Zaka disagreed with fantastic theories of conspiracy theory superstar Zaid Hamid, he was actually proclaimed as a Zionist agent! Most of the people who posted their comments on web, sided with Zaid Hamid calling his analysis as “enlightening” and knowledge as “awesome”. Zaki at best was categorized as “misguided” whereas a large number of comments simply endorsed Mr Zaid Hamid’s views that he was an agent planted by Zionists!!!. This has become so entrenched that any one even suggesting that we may also be partly responsible for the mess automatically becomes a “baigharat” liberal or complete sell out or if he is lucky he will be labelled as misguided English speaking pro West elitist.
So what may be the reason for this? The reasons in my opinion are manifold and some are imbedded in our cognitive framework while rest are the outcome of international events and the actual behaviour of foreign players.
First of all, conspiracy theories appeal to our fundamental and deeply held conviction that a Muslim cannot do anything which would bring a bad name to Islam and lead to adverse consequences to the Muslim community. Moreover, apparently the more fundamentalist you are in your appearance, harder it is for the public to actually believe that you are capable of these actions. This may explain why it was difficult for the public to believe that Taliban were behind anything and all was US propaganda. And it also makes sense as to why they are now interpreted as “agents” or bifurcated between “good” and “bad” Taliban to explain once it has become clear that in Swat militants were indeed behind atrocities. Now the Swati Taliban, according to Mr. Zaid Hamid are the bad Taliban and in some way which only he and his brigade can understand, very different from “good” Taliban such as Mullah Omar.
Secondly, we always link consequences with origination. Since terrorism “benefits” West because it defames Islam and gives them a justification to retaliate, therefore in our logic it must have been solely planned by them. In our country, the nuclear issue is extremely sensitive and somehow or the other assumed a central place due to our inherent insecurities and also crisis of identity. Moreover, the nuclear arsenal is perhaps the only thing which actually elevates Pakistan to at least a factor to reckon with at the global stage. It’s no wonder that every terrorist activity is then conveniently linked with the global conspiracy to destabilize Pakistan with the ultimate objective of taking hold of nuclear arsenal. Now there is merit in this thought that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal would always be giving the US and the West sleepless nights but to give these amazing spins that al-Qaeda is planted by USA and suicide attacks are planned and carried by USA alone is really mind boggling and moreover self contradictory. Because if Al-Qaeda and Taliban are indeed planted then military action in FATA would actually eliminate these agents and deprive US of the justification to take military action to neutralize the nuclear assets.
It somehow escapes otherwise extremely rich imagination of the conspiracy theorists that it becomes extremely difficult to take action against even the identified militants due to our deeply held unquestionable and contradictory convictions. If US goal is to destabilize Pakistan through suicide bombings and at the same time the identified militants are absolved of their crimes and labelled as victims of mere American propaganda, then we are willingly letting the US agents go unpunished! We due to our mindset actually allow the terrorism (whether it’s due to home grown militancy or US conspiracy) to take roots and flourish. When suicide attacks were taking place, we were pressurizing the Government not to take action in the troubled areas of NWFP by claiming that it was mere US propaganda and war would be US war. Now assuming that those militants were indeed US agents (which they have suddenly become according to conspiracy theorists after Nazam-i-Adl), we have actually been preventing action against the agents ourselves.
Thirdly, the conspiracy theories also owe their existence (though not the extent of their weirdness) to foreign powers’ actual way of dealing which has always been oppressive and suspicious. The flimsy case of war in Iraq has merely strengthened and worst still apparently provided some sellable legitimacy to the conspiracy theorists. Whenever there is any question to authenticity to fantastic theories, the Iraq war and US general way of handling crisis is cited as justification. As a result self contradictory theories which brand militants as US agents and yet resist government crackdown by labelling it as US war, find acceptability in the public.
Any society has to indulge into an honest intellectual discourse at the time of crisis. Unfortunately, we as a nation not only resist it, but are completely blinded to our own faults. Blaming each and everything to grand conspiracies and branding those who demand that we introspect ourselves also as “traitors” or “baighairats” is not going to lead us anywhere but more deeply into this bottomless pit.

Conspiracy theories are a natural result of a faith that pumps into your idiotized head the idea that this faith is final and perfect. Reality repeatedly disproves and humiliates the boasts made by this faith and its agents. But this faith also intimidates you into never criticizing it, never even thinking of criticizing it. So you end up inventing/claiming conspiracies against this “noble” faith and its agents. That is the fate of this religion from Arabia and its agents and quislings (with the megalomaniac and trickster Jinnah as the quisling-e-azam).

This conviction that muslims can do no wrong against Islam has its own warpped logic. While discussing Shahbaz Bhatti murder, some media persons said that the attackers could not be Talibans because they dropped pamphlets on the ground which contained Prophet (PBUH) name and words from Hadith and Quran. Which basically means that it is acceptable that a muslims can kill peaceful non muslims but impossible that a muslim will throw holy words on ground, meaning Murder is a lesser sin!!
@ Mnoor
“This conviction that muslims can do no wrong against Islam has its own warpped logic”
Absolutely right. Logic or moral rectitude is n’t exactly a strong suit of Islamists and their apologists. The opposite, in fact, holds true in many cases.
Here are some things that are said about conspiracy theories. Unfortunately it’s a poorly understood scientific phenomenon.
1. There has been some scientific work that posits that the more you believe in conspiracy theories the more likely you are to mistrust reported facts.
2. People are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories if they feel powerless in the face of large social authorities or institutions, and not part of the mainstream of society.
3. If we accept a conspiracy theory to be true, we are more likely to accept explanations that are consistent with a conspiracy.
4. We hate gaps or inconsistencies in our knowledge. We want “closure” in our thinking and to believe that we live in a stable and predictable world, so we might seek out a simple account of a complex event.
5. As a rule people tend to accept supporting evidence at face value while subjecting contrary evidence to much more critical evaluation.
6. People show other cognitive biases in how they evaluate ambiguous evidence. So if we accept a conspiracy theory to be true we are more likely to accept explanations that are consistent with a conspiracy and less likely to accept evidence that runs against a conspiracy account.
7. Conspiracy theories are related to states of anxiety. A universal sense of justice also comes into play; that is, if something bad has happened, someone is to blame. The one to blame should be captured and punished, and then the world will be safe again. This not only restores a sense of security, but also absolves the individual from being in any way to blame.
8. A society that lacks trust amongst is members is likely to be less trusting of others.
9. The human brain has a tendency to find meaningful patterns in random places.
10. The human brain also has a tendency to tailor after-the-fact explanations to what it knows has already know happened without seeking sufficient evidence for those explanations.
11. A conspiracy theory takes flight when all of these are concocted into conviction.
12. Research has been thin on precisely why some have a conspiratorial dispensation.
13. People who believe in one theory are more likely to believe in others.
14. There is a strong association between income and belief levels: the better-off are less likely to believe in conspiracy theories. (Perhaps this can be chalked up to education or at least the fact that they don’t feel as victimized by society and angry about their situation in life.)
15. Conspiracy theories often mutate over time in light of new or contradicting evidence.
16. Conspiracies usually require a big newsworthy event on which to peg it.
In the end, the more elaborate a conspiracy theory is, and the more people that would need to be involved, the less likely it is true.
Or if is indeed fantastically true that the US, India and Israel are so powerful, then logic dictates that we should be with them rather than against them.
Indians cannot reform Pakistanis. So while the comments by Indians here(and the responses by Pakistanis) are provoking and interesting, they will serve no purpose except maybe justify to some Pakistanis that Indians are arrogant. Pakistanis have to reform themselves and their nation. Else everyone will face the consequences, especially India, since it has the most to lose.
The Pakistanis with progressive mindsets will not need reforming(though they will gradually vanish if they don’t take charge of the benighted nation), the rest will not be reformed.
The number one reason for conspiracy theories is that the official sources of information are full of lies.
Conspiracy theories don’t need this convoluted explanation. It’s pure self-loathing – arising for repeated failure – that seeks an external agent to pin the blame on. Anyway it’s too late for this hand-wringing. The time for that to be effective has long passed.
Another one of Raza Habib’s “here I go again” moment. Raza Habib’s naiveté
has no bounds. I can’t believe someone could be so silly to pen articles like this or the one penned by another comedian D. Asghar below. He clearly can’t figure out the differences between the conspiracy theories and the media manipulations that are part of the political groups, political parties and governments arsenal. Media is used to present or rather promote a certain pov or to counter a pov presented by the opposition or the contesting party.
If we go by Raza Habib and his guileless renditions above, Gen. Powell’s presentation to UN assembly about WMD should be the mother of all conspiracy theories. It was the sort of media manipulation and outright lies that cost thousands of lives, resulted in the destruction of a whole country, displacement of millions of folks and a ruthless ruination of the social and cultural center of millions of folks.
Now what damaged some minor stories planted in the Pakistani media have caused? They might have perturbed some simple folks like Raza Habib or D. Asghar but beyond that there is no comparison to what was done at the UN floor by the most powerful nation on the face of the earth.
In Pakistan, there are competing ideologies, theories, and political thoughts. People in Pakistan have been subjected to the worst kind of manipulation by not only the Pakistani establishment and its minions that exist in religious as well as the so-called liberal groups(the PTH crowd types) but the most powerful nation of the earth. Thirty years is a long time and the relentless propaganda and media manipulations (including the $50 million US commitment to influence Pakistani media). In view of this kind of onslaught, if people in Pakistan form some opinions based on their knowledge or the lack of it, do they deserved to be badmouthed by some self-centered folks whose job is to write a few articles every week to share some from the booty thrown around in Pakistan? Instead of sympathizing with the common folks and the average middle class folks, these fake liberals love to blame the people of Pakistan for their misfortunes.
Shame on them and their negativity. True liberals look for ways to improve the lot of the people, fake liberals look for ways to ridicule the people to make their masters happy.
I might add to this post later but I am already disgusted by these fake liberals whose sole aim in life is make fun of the common folks in Pakistan.
@ Rehmat: Since you are so obviously disgusted at what is being posted here by the authors here at PTH, why are you so determined to even come here and read the articles? And then comment, and then “threaten”, oh, EXCUSE ME, “Promise” to return and heap more of your, oh so blessed, criticism on them?

“Fake CIA accounts on Facebook create Shia-Sunni Fasaad
Posted on March 11, 2011 by syedaqudsia………. Awareness of enemy’s tactics is of utmost importance if victory is the desired outcome. The issue of CIA operative Raymond Davis brought forth to light the hideous fact that the state of Pakistan is infested with hidden, unscrupulous and merciless enemies. Alarming as it is, it is just the tip of the ice berg. Patriotic Pakistanis recently have started realizing that these people are wolves in sheep’s clothing. This is just one facet of CIA’s misadventures, particularly in Pakistan, and the Middle East in general. It is now confirmed from various sources that the CIA is not only using different social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter for the surveillance of individuals but is also creating fake accounts there.
These fake accounts are used for nefarious purposes, and most of the times are made by hacking into the personal computers of people in the targeted country. These fake identities are also used to trick Facebook users into accepting friend requests. After making an account with a fake Muslim name, for instance, a Pakistani, they then start creating hate groups with fake ids and attacking every and anybody from the opposing groups. In retaliation, the other ethnic, religious or sectarian group also makes a hate group and a vicious cycle starts. The malevolence and hostility being spread among various sectors of Muslims is extremely disturbing.
One comes across many Facebook pages of Shias using abusive language for the Companions of the Prophet [PBUH], which hurts the sentiments of the majority of the Muslims in Pakistan. Similarly, there are a number of Sunni, Deobandi, or Salafi pages declaring Shias as non-Muslims. Majority of such groups are being created and operated by non-Muslims. Unfortunately, most of the Muslims are ignorant of this fact and unwittingly become victim to this cycle of hate. It is comparable to the way they bomb Imam Baargahs and blame it on Sunni Muslims and then bomb the holy shrines of Auliya and blame it on Deobandis.
The recent examples of the successful use of these social networking sites, are the orchestrated revolutions in the Arab World. The million people that had gathered at the Tahrir Square in Egypt, had co-ordinated through the Facebook and Twitter. Therefore, it is extremely important for ALL the Muslims, especially in Pakistan, to recognize the real enemy and stop fighting amongst themselves. Only when we stand united, we can beat the enemy and be victorious in every battlefield.
Remember, Allah can forgive sins of an individual, but has no mercy for the collective blunders of a nation.
Wake up Pakistan!
Wake up Muslims!
Shia Sunni, Bhai Bhai!
If you in Pakistan only knew what a special interest Snakepit Washington is, you would not be so cherry about conspiracies……. Like the Unocal [TAP] Pipeline from Turkmenistan to Karachi……… And then there are the NeoCons…. All they care about is Israel and how EVERYTHING will effect it….. Muslims of ANY STRIPE with nuclear weapons is their No.1 horror…. Stop with this radical stuff…. Wake up to POWER/MONEY politics and see what is REALLY happening..!!!
@Thomas! For heavens sake! What would be the purpose of the CIA to do this kind of thing? Why would they want to create any more havoc in Pakistan? I am not trying to defend the CIA carte blanc, however, I do not see the purpose for them to do this! Please explain what would be their purpose in that the GOOD would be to Washington in doing such a disruptive thing in Pakistan!
@Rehmat
Welcome back
did you even bother to read the article or just my name and first two paras.
The article admits about Iraq war and the way it has lent credibility to conspiracy theories.
Any ways, you keep on boasting about your “intellectual” superiority and with your stupid Zaid hamid style views, you do make a cartoon charecter. An idiots who is in love with himself, lives in USA while shoouting against the top of his voice about “atrocities”. Of course does not have the integrity to leave USA and come to pakistan.
Ayways, welcome back. To be honest I was missing your idiot comments.
The fake liberals of Pakistan + the Tea Party libertarian from the US = PTH
Great explanation by Tilsim. We try to find simple answers, it is convenient to blame CIA, India et al. I was gobsmacked recently hearing two very dear friends (one of whom works for the World Bank, ironically) challenging whether 9/11 actually happened! As the country goes down the drain, so does our collective sanity. Far too many self-righteous people (eg Rehmat) who refuse to see the obvious and prefer to believe what is convenient.
Unfortunately, Pakistan itself is one *big* conspiracy theory. Just one *big* illusion if you may.
The mother of all conspiracy theories is of course the one that created the nation: the theory that Muslims and Hindus can’t live together in peace and prosperity. Even though they had done so for a thousand years! I think India has put that to rest by developing a (relatively) inclusive secular democracy in the truly subcontinental tradition of tolerance. (Ok, it has some flaws, that is why I said *relatively*…)
Then, there are many other baby consipiracy theories born to the mother.
-That we are ethnically and culturally distinct from the dal/chapati eating Indians. (Just look in mirror, will you?)
-That we are superior race. Remember, the 1 Pakistani soldier = 10 Indians?. Loosing 4 wars must have put an end to that. But, it just wouldn’t go.
-That we are India’s equal even though it is ten times our size. Crazy!
-That we are the bastion and the only purely Islamic country. And, we are the final arbitor of who is Muslim and who is not. If the Prophet (pbuh) lived in Pakistan today we might not even accept him as a Muslim as he would showed mercy on the poor heathens like Asia Bibi.
Each conspiracy theory knocked us a few inches smaller, and now we are on life support! I hope we learn our lesson soon.
delusion isn’t limited to the public. remember this gem..

ISLAMABAD, Jan 25: Pakistan entered the space age with the formal launching of Paksat-I by President Gen Pervez Musharraf at an impressive ceremony here on Saturday.
“Pakistan’s space programme is now ahead of India after the formal launching of Paksat-I and this is due to the hard work of our scientists and I am sure Indians would take another 30 months to do the job,” Gen Musharraf claimed.
There are two types of brain. a liberal brain and conservative brain.
Conservative brain is the republican brain. It is insular. It is reactionary.
It can’t accept change very well. Liberal brain talks past the Conservative
brain.
There are a lot of conspiracy in US with religious right.
From UN Black helicopter — Jews controlling the bank, etc.
It benefits the military to use these conspiracies to confuse the public.
#1 conspiracy – everything is God’s Will. if muslims are loosing
and infidels are winning then answer has to given why.
#2 conspiracy – land of pure is not winning even when aligning with US, China, Saudi Arabia. You are not faithful enough. You are not muslim enough. God is punishing you.
#3 – earthquake was conspiracy, floods were conspiracy, Suicide bomb
is conspiracy, Baluchistan is a conspiracy, Afghanistan working with India is conspiracy.
Gotta love sikandar….. “Jews controlling the bank” It was just a coincidence I’m sure when the Federal Reserve [The Bank] under Bush made money cheap as dirt when the war in Iraq was kicked off and waged. And Who had the TOP job …??? Allen Greenspan.. !!! Gee, I wonder what religion he is…??? Probably a Buddhist…Right..??? And Bernanke, he is a ???? Muslim…???
Caroline, “Please explain what would be their purpose in that the GOOD would be to Washington in doing such a disruptive thing in Pakistan!”
No.1 The U.S. is out to contain China, Iran, Russia and ANY country that has GOOD relations with any of these countries is a target.
No.2 The U.S. wants to control Pakistan and keep it helplessly addicted to handouts from Washington……so your leaders will be pliant to their NEEDS to supply the ARMIES making WAR in Afghanistan…
No.3 As I have previously stated, the power elite in Washington does NOT want ANY country to be able to defend itself in this nuclear world.
Pakistan, it’s nuclear weapons, and A.Q. Khan is their worst nightmare. “Stop NATO

New War Rumors: U.S. Plans To Seize Pakistan’s Nuclear Arsenal
Rick Rozoff
Two recent news items emanating from the United States have begun to reverberate in Pakistan and give rise to speculation that growing American drone strikes and NATO helicopter attacks in that country may be the harbingers of far broader actions: Nothing less than the expansion of the West’s war in Afghanistan into Pakistan with the ultimate goal of seizing the nation’s nuclear weapons.
The News International, Pakistan’s largest English-language newspaper, published a report on October 13 based on excerpts from American journalist Bob Woodward’s recently released volume “Obama’s Wars” which stated that during a trilateral summit between the presidents of the U.S., Afghanistan and Pakistan on May 6 of 2009 Pakistani head of state Asif Ali Zardari accused Washington of being behind Taliban attacks inside his country with the intent to use them so “the US could invade and seize its nuclear weapons.” [1]
Woodward recounted comments exchanged at a dinner with Zardari and Afghan-born Zalmay Khalilzad, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations (2007-2009), to Iraq (2005-2007) and Afghanistan (2003-2005). Khalilzad was also a close associate of Jimmy Carter administration National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, architect of the U.S. strategy to support attacks by armed extremists based in Pakistan against Afghanistan starting in 1978, when he joined the Polish expatriate at Columbia University from 1979-1989.”
Those are the first three paragraphs of the article…. It’s here at Stop Nato: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/2010/10/15/new-war-rumors-u-s-plans-to-seize-pakistans-nuclear-arsenal/
You just offered a valuable service…
Now i am convinced that Raymond Davis was in fact a gentleman and a diplomat ..and he was on fishing using his automatic weapon and then some idiot Pakistanis just messed up.
@thomas,
Albert Einstein was jew too. so were all the nuclear researcher
in germany and the ones that built the bomb. how
come you want their invention.
But obviously you don’t understand what is money or
bank or federal reserve. Alan Greenspan head of fed
has to have consensus with other fed members.
You don’t even understand QE2. I am not going to explain it you
either because you didn’t really understand my post to begin with.
If you hate the jews so much why don’t you remove all traces
of their book from your book. Even you greeting is jewish.
Abraham was he not a jew. so the mother was muslim I guess.
I am sure you can eat nuclear weapon because by the
time US is threw with you that is all you will have left.
Pakistan is already in debt let see who pays for that.
You can’t black mail the whole world for only so long.
Just wait until US withdraws from Afghanistan.
Pakistan was founded with great hope,it sad to see self destruct this way more sad is the citizen of Pakistan lose their sense and common sense and can not objectively see what is obvious to every one else.Will they ever wake up from their long slumber,I for one certainly hope so.
[...] Eric Trager concludes his piece by stating how difficult it will be to curb anti-American sentiment and resentment in the war on terror so long as Arab 9/11 conspiracy theories are the prevalent beliefs being spun and propagandized. One major problem of course, is the refusal on the part of Muslims to take ownership and responsibility that violent brethren of their religion were indeed responsible for “waking the sleeping/paper tiger” from its slumber. Living in denial. And of course, when Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda claimed the charges of responsibility were true, that they brought the Towers down, some Arabs secretly (and openly) showed anything from admiration, sympathy, or support for their romanticized version of “Robin Hood” to claims that Osama must be an agent working for the CIA. No amount of evidence to the contrary will ever be enough to convince those who want to believe in conspiracies rather than face the real causes for their miserable state…. [...]
