what I see when I read the "refutation" of Dr. Jones' paper is someone who can't see outside their own "reality box".

That would be your filters at work then. All I see is an expert in their field refuting the claims of someone who isn't an expert in the same field (http://www.debunking911.com/jones.htm).

I do not support the invasion of Iraq so I can see no point in responding to your comments except to say that I agree that they probably had no involvement in 9/11.

I'm pretty sure that you are not an explosives expert or you would have mentioned the fact, in which case I'm also confident that you would have no idea if and how thermite could have been useful, though this may help http://www.debunking911.com/thermite.htm

This exchange has been fun & useful for me, but I think we've reached the conclusion of our little conversation. I'll check for a reply, but I'm disinclined to follow up, as the story is now 3 days old, and I do have other things to do, as you do, I assume. :)

Well here's somewhere that we agree! Though I would say that the story is close to 5 years old :-) Thank you for an interesting debate!
