I got the paperwork for doing an assessment here in Ireland - and it runs to €700 (US$1,000) for the first consult!
Does anyone know of a cheaped route to get an assessment/diagnosis? |

| Paying restitution for something that happened over 200 years ago is probably a bad idea ... who would pay? who would be paid? In Africa itself, the most common slavers were Africans. It was common practice that when two tribes went to war, anyone captures as what we would now consider a PoW, or a c... |

Why was America targeted, rather than Britain or France ?
Why were the twin towers targeted ?
Why did those particular arabs decide it was a good idea ?
I could list a million "Why?" questions ... none of which are an answer on their own. That is why I say that the CAUSE of 9/11 is complex. |

the term "cause" does not mean the same as "carry out"
Al-Quaeda carried out the 9/11 attack
What caused it is a much more complex geo-polictical confluence of socio-political factors.
So ... the "Who" was Al-Quaeda
the "Why" is far more complex |
