Charles I have thought for some time that a belief in the omnipotent state is the root cause of some people's instance that some in the government "were in on" 9-11. These people were likely taught at a very young age that the government had the power to make all things right and protect them from all evil. Thus, they cannot accept that the government could be so incompetent as to fail to stop something like the 9-11 attacks. Therefore, the only logical explanation is that those in charge of the state where somehow "in on" the events of 9-11. The logical result of this type of thinking is an emphasis on getting state power into the hands of good people, so we can all benefit from the all-mighty state. Libertarians should have no problem believing that the state is both evil and stupid.
