 * I think that 9/11 was a partial conspiracy. I don’t think that the US government is sneaky or intelligent enough to actually orchestrate a completely fake terrorist attack, but I do believe that the US government is cruel and stupid enough to allow one to happen. There is so much proof that the government was at least aware of Osama Bin Ladens plans, or maybe even involve in the orchestration of 9/11, such as: **
 * 1. NORAD issued a stand down the day of 9/11 **
 * 2. President bush said many things that suggested his known ledge of 9/11 BEFORE the plans hit the twin towers. **
 * 3. The plane that hit the pentagon hit the only and exact spot that could result in NO deaths and little injuries **
 * 4. The government issued a terrorist attack practice at the pentagon only 5 months before 9/11, concerning the same situation as the actual 9/11 event. **

**I think the US government would allow this to happen for there gain. It would give them a reason to attack muslim countries, and start a war. Big countries and big companies benefit from wars, and it also gives the US more access to oil and other luxuries that can only be found in the middle east. ** **--Maya Provencal ** b) a partial conspiracy where the US government knew of the impending attack and allowed it to happen If 911 was “partial conspiracy”, why would the US government allow it to happen? Here are my thoughts on the conspiracies. Every theory has some missing parts but if you took the time and added some of the parts and theory together you would see that it is quite plausible. For example on the missile hitting the pentagon theory. Why is it that the telephone poles were not knocked over from the planes wingspan? I believe that some of the conspiracies are a little extreme. I think I believe in the partial conspiracy because if it was 100 percent planned by USA why would they make it so that the Muslims were the victims and why would they kill over 3000 of there people. I think that  America had heard about this and wanted to do something but just kind of brushed it off. I think that both countries did the wrong thing I think America should have done all they could to make sure it did not happen. So I believe in the partial conspiracy because I think the we knew something was going to happen but we did not want to look into it. I am not saying that it is our fault because it is still the Muslims that did it. I think that America set it up for their gain. I think that it was all of the high up people looking for another way to make money. 1 month before the attack on the twin towers the owner opens a new insurance file and then 1 week before he or she moved all of the important documents out of the towers and then was not in the building the day of 911. So the plane crashes the buildings are wrecked but the owner has all of the important stuff from the building and a bran new building. And he is not the only person, America goes to war against museums we need war profiteers and the more guns and tanks and fighter jets they sell the more money they make so I think they are the ones benefiting off of this.
 * these are only a few of the odd things that suggest the government had fore-known ledge of 9/11. **

In my opinion, 911 was a partial conspiracy. I honestly cannot see the US government planning the whole thing, killing that many people and blaming it on Middle Eastern terrorists. I can however, see them knowing about the terrorist attack and letting it happen. LIHOP seems like the most plausible theory, and the official 911 Commission Report states that the government received warnings about a terrorist attack and ignored them. Also, there is the NORAD stand down to consider. The government wouldn’t have ordered NORAD to stand down after receiving warnings about a terrorist attack unless they were willing to allow it to happen. The United States would benefit by allowing this to happen because it would be an excuse to go to war with the Middle East which would be profitable for the States (especially with the Middle East being an oil producing area). Also, the terrorists had reasons to attack the States including the historical friction between the Middle East and the West, the fact that these religious extremist viewed the US’s military bases in the holy land as blasphemous, and that these terrorist viewed America as an enemy. I believe that the government of the United States was capable of turning a blind eye and allowing it to happen, but nor orchestrating it themselves. Kara


 * I believe that 911 was a partial conspiracy. I think this because I believe that Former President Bush had prior knowledge of the attack and that he was getting paid to only tell certain people but to keep it secret to the public. I also think that he received a payment or several payments to give information to the terrorists so that they would know just where to crash the plane into the towers so that they would collapse. Nathan said that he doesn’t believe that it was the Americans that crashed the planes into the towers because it wouldn’t make any sense to kill over 3000 of their own people. I don’t believe that it was Americans that were flying the planes either. I do believe that President Bush would have had over 3000 Americans killed though because if he didn’t then it wouldn’t have looked believable and people wouldn’t have believed that it was Muslim terrorists and they would have started to question if their president was trust worthy. The president needed his people to believe that it was solly the Muslims that attacked them so that he could go to war and then he could get a treaty for the oil over there. The companies of the USA would also benefit in the long run because all of the full body scans have to built by some company so that means that those companies are also getting paid to build these body scans. Somebody also made millions to build the war technologies,eg. jets, guns ect. We also now have thousands of security guards and all of the baggage scans. Also if former President Bush didn’t give information to the Muslim terrorists then how did they know where they needed to hit the towers in order for them to collapse. The owner of the Trade Centers had also insured the towers for plane crashes in specific. Gold and important files were also moved in the days right before the crash. Why did these files get moved right before the attack if nobody knew that the attack was going to happen? These are the reasons that I believe that the president and certain individuals knew about the attack and traded information to the Muslim terrorists. **

**9/11/01. Who is responsible? The U.S government? The Al-Qaeda? Will we ever really know? **


 * I don’t know the real events of that day, but based on what I have found out, I believe that 9/11 was a partial conspiracy. Think about it. The government’s reluctance to share facts and the fact that Bush didn’t react at all when he received the news, or even that the pilots who flew the four planes “couldn't” fly them. **


 * 1 hour 41 minutes and 45 seconds. This is the time between the impact of flight 11 and the collapse of the north tower, and yet, somehow this was still not sufficient time to save even the majority of the people in the north tower. **


 * The breach in the defenses. Americans like to pride themselves on the “invincibility” of their defenses, and if, say, the people who hijacked the planes weren’t associated with the Al-Qaeda, then the American government and military would be even more embarrassed than they already were. The tape of Osama Bin Laden confessing was grainy an unclear, making myself and many others wonder whether Bin Laden and the Al-Qaeda were really involved. **


 * This is why I believe that 9/11 was a partial conspiracy. **
