There is just some part of the human mind that just tries to make sense out of something senseless. Its hard to accept that everything we have is fragile and could be easily taken away on the whim of madmen.

Was the same with the Pearl Harbor conspiracy theories which starting cropping up almost as soon as the Japanese planes departed. Given the racial climate of the time, there were some who were far more comfortable with the idea that warnings were deliberately ignored from on high and the attack was allowed to proceed by FDR, than with the idea that a "diminutive, imitative people who lived in ramshackle paper cities" had caught the US Navy napping in it's biggest Pacific base.
