a) An attack by Muslim terrorists?

If 911 was “real”, why would some Muslim groups want to attack the USA?

Sage These are my thoughts on the conspiracy theories: All the facts that are given to prove the conspiracy theories are all very believable and I do believe in some of the facts. The conspiracy theories //are// plausible because I do know that the facts are true and believable, although when you don't know exactly what the answer is, it could be anything, especially in this case. I believe that the Twin Towers attack //was// the planes highjacked by Al Qaeda, because if you look at a video of the Twin Towers collapsing, the area in which they collapse //is// the area where the planes hit. Some people say they collapsed at the bottom, but if you look at the videos the collapses//were// at the area where the planes hit. I have heard that some people see puffs of smoke bellow the actual area of the Towers' collapse, I see that but I think that those are puffs of smoke from the inside of the building where things are most likely collapsing and falling over bellow the spot of the begging of the collapse. Workers inside the North Tower heard a second explosion after the plane hit. I believe that it was an after shock or something collapsing. The planes were recorded destroyed, unlike the Pentagon and Pennsylvania crashes, which were recorded valid. I think the Pentagon was hit by a small plane sent directly from Al Qaeda, because the hole in the Pentagon was smaller than the wingspan of a Beoing 757. Beoing 757 is still valid in records, not destroyed like the Twin Towers' planes. The plane that hit the Pentagon tried to descend 7000 feet in 2:30 minutes, that may be more possible with a smaller plane. There were no skid marks on the lawn, it would have been easier in a smaller plane to crash into the Pentagon without touching the ground since the Pentagon is so big. There were only small pieces of plane found, those pieces are smaller because a smaller plane could have crashed into the building. The planes could have propellers instead of engines that could have been torn apart more easily. The two planes in the sky after the attack could have been military planes circling to make sure everything is all right or they could be Al Qaeda planes circling to make sure the crash happened correctly. I do believe that the Pennsylvania crash was a bomb, like the conspiracy theories said, but I think the bomb came from Al Qaeda. Two planes had landed in Cleveland, because of bomb reports, one was described as flight 93. The bomb reports would be true, as well as the report of seeing flight 93. The plane would have bombed the spot instead of the Whitehouse, after the passengers resisted the Al Qaeda bombers. The reason for my belief of a bombing is, because of this fact and, because there were no bodies, no plane parts any where close to the hole in the ground and a photographer reported only ashes and a few broken trees. As you can see I clearly believe it was Al Qaeda, although the way 9/11 happened from my point of view is a bit different. If what I say is true, the Al Qaeda would withstand benefits, because it seems as though they wanted to destroy some important files. They succeeded in everything except the Whitehouse. Depending on what is in the files, it could help them with a war in the future or let them get back at the Americans for something they did in the past, or they simply did what their religion told them to do. The Al Qaeda had the means to do it because the Bin Ladens have a lot of money and power. As you can see my beliefs in 9/11 are very much true, since I have so many supporting details and answers. It is without a doubt that this is what happened on 9/11. Sage

I think that 911 was a genuine event, not a catastrophe specifically engineered by the American government. There are many conspiracy theories out there, some wild and some with sense, but I refuse to believe that the U.S government would brutally kill hundreds of innocent citizens for whatever reason. I cannot see anything the government would gain from the attack, in fact, wouldn’t paying for a couple planes and kamikaze pilots waste a lot of money? I also fail to see the reasoning behind the conspiracy that there was supposedly no one on board the flights. Phone calls were received from the hijacked planes during the flight. If that theory was to be supported, someone would definitely have to enlighten me as to how hundreds of people disappeared. Would you suggest that the government line people up and shoot them? The religious middle-eastern group that was supposedly responsible for the attack have been persecuted, by destroying the twin towers, the group ‘got back’ at the U.S for the countless years of discrimination. I do not think that Sudan Hussein was the ringleader of the plot; he has repeatedly denied this. It is very much a possibility that some members of the Al-Qaida acted of their own accord. The government could not possibly of engineered the plot because there was wreckage and no survivors. Some say that people were paid off by the government to disappear, but they cannot be prepared to defend the fact that none of the ‘missing’ have never tried to contact their families, not even their own children.

This is only my opinion others may have different perspectives. By Rachel

===I believe that it was Muslim Terrorists that blew up the Twin Towers because in videos it distinctly shows planes and why would the American Government do it because they could have gone to war with Iraq and Afghanistan and no one would have stopped them. Also 911 were no reason to go to war with Iraq because all terrorist were British Citizens or came from Saudi Arabia. America didn’t want to go to war with Saudi Arabia because it supplies America with lots of oil. They didn’t want to go to war with Britain because it is a close ally .===

 * Neil, when you said that in videos it shows planes hitting the twin towers so you don't think it could have been orchastrated, but I couldn't disagree more with you because when you read my post you will be able to clearly see that the U.S. government could still have known about the attack and it is proven that Mr.Bush let out information that he did know about the attacks in advance. The U.S. government would have wanted the oil as well because it would have made them lots of money and if the States had just gone to war with no excuse then the citizens would have been saying that they didn't have any excuse to go over there. **
 * This is just my opinion NV **

I do not think that 911 was a conspiracy. They are lots of conspiracy theories out there and most of them are ridiculous like that the U.S put mini nukes in the towers. Others say that they put bombs in the towers so they could blame it on Afghanistan and then invade them for their oil. I think that if the U.S saw that they could make a lot of money by invading Afghanistan they would have spent a lot to make it convincing. If they faked it they wouldn’t have let so many people die. I don’t think the government would have killed so many innocent people even if they wanted oil. Also if America wanted to go to war they could have just said that those countries had terrorists in them and they needed to be destroyed. They wouldn’t have to kill almost 3 000 people and wound over 6 000 more. Other theories say that the planes had no people on them and were remote controlled. This is not true because all of the people on the planes never came back and I don’t think that the government would have made 246 people “disappear” by killing them or some other way. They were phone calls recored from the planes from the family members and I do not understand how that could have been faked. Some say that they moved the passengers of the planes onto another plane during flight, but every plane in North American airspace is tracked and lots of people would have known that two planes pulled up beside each other in mid air. Also if they did do this then where would the other plane go to land? I think that the Taliban destroyed the towers and the U.S government took advantage of the situation and invaded Afghanistan partly for the oil money and they were terrorists there. I do not think that it would have been possible for the U.S to fake the whole thing and that is why I believe that the Taliban were the ones responsible. Kenyon
 * I Believe that the Taliban destroyed the towers because of the war in Afghanistan with the Russians. Well in Vietnam the Russians helped the Viet Cong attack the Americans and Vietnamese by supplying them with weapons and supplies to win the war, for their communist rule. Then when the Russians invaded Afghanistan the Americans helped them defend themselves to get back at the Russians for what they did in Vietnam. But the Americans promised the Afghan soldiers that they would pay for weapons and pay for the damage they did. Then when the war was over with only smoldering buildings and a lot of weaponry, a new president came to power and did not want to pay for the damage so they left them behind to die (because they got back at the Russians). When no money came to the Afghans they got mad and one solider started a mission to destroy America and their greed. That solider happened to be Osama Bin Laden who attacked the Twin Towers causing agony and questioning by the citizens of the U.S. The Americans took advantage of the attack to make money off war torn countries with oil, and say this wa ** **s where Osama was hiding. **

Maggie I would also like to note that many people have too much time on their hands, and just like to make websites, containing false facts. ( Remember when Mrs.Kuhn showed us the “ [| __Pacific Northwest tree octopus__] ?”) They make it sound true of course, and people buy into them, saying they have proof. What proof is this? They say that experts such as scientists and engineers have researched and come to conclusions saying that the government is lying. What kind of experts? Don’t you think that people who are capable of making fake websites are capable of making statements that aren’t necessarily true? Now, even if the statements were true, you must also believe that some experts are conspiracists and may think in only one direction? Experts say things like the twin towers could not have possibly collapsed in that situation. Did they know exactly what the situation was like? Maybe temperatures exceeded their estimations and in this article I found (which was in Ebsco, a reliable resource), it says that steel does not have to be melted in order for it to collapse. Here's the [|__link__] .
 * I personally think that all the conspiracy theories are fake. Our culture is a culture of conspiracy. People assume things, tell them to others, and the chain goes on, while the stories become more bizarre and exaggerated each time. For example, when Osama bin Laden was killed and declared dead to the world, almost immediately, people questioned whether or not he actually was. According to Maclean’s, 1 in 5 Americans didn’t buy the U.S. account of the terrorist’s death, and 16% of Canadians didn’t either. Then, there’s the 1% of Canadians that think Bin Laden is still alive. That’s 20% of Americans and 16% of Canadians that believe in conspiracies, even though reliable resources said that DNA scans were done.

Lots of conspiracies use witnesses as a fact. Witnesses are not reliable. People would say anything and some may have just assumed something to fill in a gap in their memory. Everyone does this naturally. Sometimes, focusing on one thing makes us lose track of another and we just assume that this is what happened. Now, they also say that Bush collaborated with terrorists and made it happen on purpose. Why would he do that? I personally don’t think Bush would kill thousands of people, frighten the nation, and destroy so much. how would this benefit him? The war following 9/11 led to loss of money and that contributes to America’s financial problems at present. Some people believe that it wasn’t a plane that hit the twin towers. Well, that is an obvious lie because the footage that was caught by a man that was randomly filming what firefighters did clearly filmed both planes hitting the twin towers. I saw it on television myself because it was broadcasted on the news. It was a plane, not a hologram or a missile. How would a hologram be possible anyway? In conclusion, some of the conspiracy theories are possible, but in my opinion, very unlikely. Lots of people have the means to create conspiracies by using technology and just thinking in only one direction. They would be the ones that would benefit because they would have succeeded in making the government look bad. Maybe they did not like the government, or the type of government, so they succeeded in creating mistrust among some people. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think that some Muslims would want to attack the U.S. because they were part of the Al-Queda group and they just like to cause chaos and destroy. I personally don’t think that they meant to destroy so much. Like the majority of people, they probably doubted that the building would collapse like that. I don’t know whether or not they were happy about it because to say I did would be stretching it, but I think they succeeded in the end of making chaos that lasted for a long time, affecting times even now. So in conclusion to that, I think the Muslims and conspiracists both succeeded in making the government look bad and creating chaos. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Maggie ||

Personally in my opinion, 911 was completely orchestrated. I have seen a lot of videos on Youtube and many other video sites across the web. Many people assume it was fake, but that is just from rumors being spread in a continuous pattern from one person to the other and so on. When Osama bin Laden was killed, people were so surprised about the tragedy, then everyone had to go on a world-wide search on the web and news to find out about his death, and if he was actually dead. Most likely the Muslims attacked the US is because they were part of Al-Queda group, which everyone should know by now was one of the huge groups in the world who liked to cause chaos, and blow up. There kind of like the rednecks of that area. (Please ignore my horrible jokes) In my opinion they didn't intend to destroy all of that, they probably just wanted america to know what they are capable of. And, personally I think they went to far. Cody

I think the buildings fell because the fire got very hot and melted the steal to cause a collapse of the towers. Steal melts at 2750 F and jet fuel burns at 500-599 F so that means that jet fuel will burn hot enough that it can weaken steal to the point that it can buckle and there were other propellants like paper and plastic to help the fire burn. I think the Muslims attaked the two towers just to hurt the U.S and to let them konw that they could be attacked any where any time.
