Sorry.
Yes, but when you simply accuse someone of being anti-American and don't attempt to address their question, you might as well just say "I don't know, I don't care and you're stupid."

Unfortunately, the 9/11 Conspiracy crowd is going to take that as a victory, people reading this thread and going to think you have a weak case and more harm will be done than good.

From my experience, the best thing one can do is simply do a little research and refute one's claim with readily available evidence. That way, you don't have to rely on emotion, the 9/11 conspiracy theorist looks like a moron and everyone learns a little something.

Perhaps we just have different approaches.
