Oh I don't think you're nuts. I think everything is logical and
   makes sense. It's just the concept of a government killing a
   massive amount of its own citizens in order to have a plausible
   excuse to kill a single man overseas that they're embarrassed
   about because Daddy gave him weapons years ago and, well, we
   have to cover up the skeletons in the family closet...

   ...while possible... seems to require a level of agreement among
   a large amount of people, who were also equally capable of
   putting the pieces together in the same way as you had, and
   convincing any dissenters to go along with the plan....

   ...is a bit much. It's not tin foil hat. It just doesn't jive
   with how I think of the way things tend to work.

   Could I be wrong? Absolutely.
