I know that this is a hard topic to discuss among Americans right now. After tragedy of the terrorist attacks most Americans decided that they wanted some sort of immediate revenge to show whomever had messed with America that America wouldn't stand for it. American military has been all over the Middle East looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction, Terrorists, and anything else suspicious.
Do you feel that this was the best route of action that America could have taken? Do you think that American's reacted to emotionally? Do you think that our government had any fore knowledge of the events? Do you think that out government helped with the attacks in any way?

Although I am not an American Citizen, but I was able to watched the conspiracy of the 9/11 attack. It was clearly defined that the US government made some exaggeration in giving some informations which is regarded by most people as flaws.
I do hope that America must end this war against terrorism.

I don't think he ment it that way! I think the American government was aware of what was going to happen just as they were aware of the attack on Pearl Harbor. I do think its pathetic that so many of our soldiers are getting killed in a country that doesn't want us there anymore. This was not just an attack on the US-the World Trade Center belonged to many countries.
Oh yea-We landed on the moon?
Just kidding, I just can't believe how people would think an event like this did'nt happen. Kind of like how some factions claim the Holocust didn't happen. Why can't we all just get along-or ignore each other?

Hey xfahctor! I did not meant it that way. Ameria must end this terrorism NOW before it may worsen you and your fellowmen and other affiliate countries. Terrorism is considered as war. That's why Bush sends some troops to Iraq to finally end this traumatic event.

I absolutely do , and I am Very much a Sane person .
But please...don't take my word for it. Don't fall for the " Conspiracies " either. Instead....go to your favorite search engine and type in the
P.N.A.C. or the Project for the new American Century. when you see whom belongs to this elite list...it will knock your socks off !
For the Second part of your question....all I can say is ...why are we in Iraq?
Bin-Laden is / was a Saudi National.

I took a look at the site, it kinda left me shrugging my shoulders going, "yeh? so?"
I have looked at the evidence, stories, accounts, video, etc myself. And I'm sorry, I just can't come to the conclusion that it was our government. There is far too much to the contrary. Besides, how could a body that bungles so much so regularly pull something that elaborate? lol

I have seen several documentaries on the 9/11 and some of the points made by the Conspircy Buffs are redicolus. For one Bin Laden is shown on tape explaining how jet liners loaded with fuel could bring down the WTC. There were also archeticts from all over the world who explained how the towers fell.
One of the best items to prove the Conspircy was that when the plane went into the Pentagon there was only a hole wehr the US fired a rocket in to the building and there were no wing slots cut into the building. Only Hollowood people think that when an ariplane crashed into a building it makes a hole that is shaped like an airplane including the tail section.
The only way the government helped was not attacking them sooner rather than throw a few rockets at them.

I can't believe that notion is even still floating around in any kind of serious discussion. Did they have some knowlage? clinton knew it was a possibilty in his second term. The intelligance organizations weren't really communicating much before that so things kinda went by the wayside but as for them actualy doing the act, thattheory is complete and utter nonsensical garbage that has been debunked in a major way over and over again. there is justno way on her ladies green earth it could have been pulled off the way conspiricy theorists say it was. My cousin was in down town manhatten at the time of the attacks. They were planes, not missles.

One of the members of the 9/11 commission was the assistant Attorny General who wrote the oponion that the FBI and the CIA could not communicate with each other. There were also limits put on other law enforcement agencies as to how much and what they could communicate with eachother. The 9/11 commission said that commnications was a major cause of 9/11 yet the Asst AG was never called to testify as to why she wrote that oponion. What it caused was suspion between agencies and a turf war to see who could collect the information that the other wanted and then keep it a secret. One agencies knew of people taking flying lessons, and another knew of talk of the use of planes as bombs but they could talk to each other.

People who subscribe to conspiracy theories related to the 9/11 attacks need to look at the facts. Popular Mechanics posted a GREAT article debunking their ludicrous claims. Our government is corrupt, as is all, but to think they would kill 3000 of their own citizens, a plot which would involve THOUSANDS of people in government and not one person comes out and says ok we did it? Ludicrous claims.

Conspiracy theories are popular but this one is on a parr with crazy theories that the moon landings were faked. It's good to have an open mind but some open minds would be better off closed for repair.
Consider 9/11 wasn't an islolated incident but part of a series of events. The London bombings amongst them and here the perpertrators were caught. As were those involved in the Glasgow airport incident, who shouted, Allah and they attempted to murder innocents.
No, these are the theories of crazy men
all the best urban
