foreign policy hypocrisy

I am glad to see that Peter Hitchens, once again, is a voice of reason in a world of unreason. He seems to be the only one, besides me,  to question whether the event actually took place in the first place. Among the anti-Americanist traditionalist movement, the issue has been that this is a clear false flag operation, but I am yet to see any proof of the events actually having taken place, before I jump to even that conclusion.
