After listening to the podcast I checked out the third installment of the Zeitgeist series, and it reminded me why I liked the first two so much. I share your skepticism on the 9/11 stuff, though. There could very well be a group of people both sinister enough and powerful enough to orchestrate something like that, but I can't believe that they would go through all the trouble and gain so little in return. The oil is still going to run out in a few decades. Invading Iraq, if it accomplished anything at all, only buys us a few years more before we face the inevitable.
