What Ahmadinejad Knows about 9/11
(Wall Street Journal) Bret Stephens - 9/11 was an inside job. Just ask Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He knew that the Muslim world would be paying attention to his UN speech. That's a world in which his view of 9/11 isn't on the fringe but in the mainstream. The University of Maryland's World Public Opinion surveys have found that just 2% of Pakistanis believe al-Qaeda perpetrated the attacks, whereas 27% believe it was the U.S. government. Among Egyptians, 43% say Israel is the culprit, while another 12% blame the U.S. Just 16% of Egyptians think al-Qaeda did it. In Turkey, 39% blame al-Qaeda, another 39% blame the U.S. or Israel. Even 15% of Italians and 23% of Germans finger the U.S. for the attacks. Ahmadinejad's constituency may be irrational, but he isn't crazy.
