Why do Americans believe in impossible coincidences?

1) Google the course of Afghanistan's opium production prior to the Taliban coming to power in 2000, and then look what happened after they banned it outright and burned the fields in 2001, and then look what has happened since we invaded the country.

Look into the widely publicized evidence that an invasion of Afghanistan had been planned prior to Sept. 2001.

The Bush Family, who made their billions in oil, invaded Iraq, one of the world's oil-richest nations, both times that a family member was in the White House. And Dick Cheney, CEO of Halliburton, a war-profiteering corporation, was a high official in both administrations.

I am usually called a conspiracy whacko for even bringing up these absolutely bizarre coincidences.

WHY do people find these coincidences to be immaterial? Does part of their brain shut off? What is the deal?

Update:

Incorrectly political: There are 4 questions total in what I wrote. Stop lying.

    Cheney was a pragmatist. Its not a conspiracy theory, its fact what I write below:

    Cheney wanted oil contracts in Iraq and Iran. His goal was to grab energy resources from the world's top two producers of them before the Chinese do. The American people want a high quality of life but dont realize it has got to come from somewhere.

    Yes Halliburton got all the juicy contracts. A chain event was set where the Trusts that had been watched by government laws and busted by guys like Roosevelt, saw the flood gates open, it was laissez faire. If the Cabinet could be this corrupt, and pro-business, it was a giant greenlight for them. Result? The economic crash, scandals and white collar crime we now face.

    The Bush family protected Kuwait the first time. The second time it was a different world. A world where there was an energy crisis. It wasnt that we couldnt produce our own energy and tap into natural gas. We just wanted to grab Central Asia before China and Russia do.

    A year ago the top 4 oil companies on Earth went to the Iraqi gov and wrote their own contracts for the oil. Mission accomplished.

    Oil will finance the reconstruction of Iraq.

    Yes part of their brain sort of does shut off and the deal is it's all about the money and how popular the country can be and they want the government to pretend to do something and at least look like their doing something rather than admit that they're lost and this applies to most countries around the world - not just the USA or UK,

    Im a pretty liberal guy, but this is absurd. The former president and VP have to announce income and assets. They dont even have close to $100 million, let alone billions.

    They invaded because they wanted a war, nothing more. You are forgetting that they are a fighter pilot and CIA agent. They like blowing stuff up.

    "I am usually called a conspiracy whacko for even bringing up these absolutely bizarre coincidences." as you should be.

    Katrina was also an inside job, Bush didn't like those black folk.
