Who Believes 9/11 Was an Inside Job?
Why do people think 9/11 was an "inside job" based on the way the towers collapsed or building 7?
What was the motive in "faking" the collapses, instead of just making them REAL by crashing more planes into them(if they were "fake" in the first place)?
After a very short time of thinking, the whole "inside job" theory sounds stupid to me.
I am open to an intelligent discussion on the subject though.

2 RepliesTechnically speaking, 9/11 is by defintion an inside job. But not in the way you think.The sad truth of it is in the 1970s we funded the Mujahideen of Afghanistan (Radical Islamists, though it wasn't an issue at the time) to go against the pro-Soviet Afgani regime. Our efforts were successful and the Russian troops sent in were expelled. HOWEVER, when the conflict was over, we simply pulled out. We left a power vacuum a mile wide that was filled with: YOU GUESSED IT! The Taliban. Osama Bin Laden was one of the Jihad leaders during the period. Considering the ties we had the Bin Laden family (They're a inner family of the Saudi Oil Barons), Osama Bin Laden was initially pro-American during this period. However, we all know who the Islamic radicalist focus turned on next. :( So in reality, we did help develop the situation that perpetrated the 9/11 attacks. (And it's also ironic we supported Sadam Hussein as a stable dictator during the same period of time to protect our oil interests) Alas history, we reap what we sow.
