Why all the fuss about 9/11 it was only a few yanks after all?

And America gives billions of dollars and help all over the world too. Children and fine people died on 9-11. What country are you in? Did you get my tax dollars?

Some people think 9/11 was a purposeful choice when choosing when to attact the World Trade Center because across America we use 9-1-1 when there is an emergency.  My own opinion is that it was a coincidence.  I guess no one will ever know for sure.

You hit it right on the head with those kooks who believe that the government was behind 9/11. If they were so smart to do 9/11, which would have involved over 2000 people, plus the 3000 who died that day, to be complicit and part of the entire conspiracy. Taht is everyone in the NY Pd. The FDNY, the Port Authority, the employees of United and American (all 3000 of them), the fire fighters and police at the Pentagon, the CIA and FBI...which would mean it would have taken a considerable amoutn of difficult EFFORT to pull off,\n\nyet our government can't "plant" one nuclear device in a country as big as Iraq.

We are being lulled into a false sense of security.  People don't connect the war in Iraq and the various anti-terrorism policies at home (patriot act, phone records, etc) with a 100% 'no terrorist attack' success rate in the US.  But the truth is that these are part of the reason why there have been no attacks - not 100% of the reason, but not 0% either.  The fact that people are complaining about these activities suggests that they have naively developed a false sense of security - the "immunity" America felt in the 1990s.\n\nWith that said, there have been terrorist attacks in "the west" since 9-11 - specifically in Spain and Britain.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.\n\nIt was just another lie in the failed attempt to get Americans to support an invasion of Iraq.\n\nAl-Queda, and Al-Queda alone, attacked the US on 9/11.

We are pretty darn ignorant of our surroundings. 89% of America did not know where Afganistan was prior to 9/11.\n\n40% still don't.

Your question says it all.  The Iraqi bombers are resistance fighters, period - from whatever angle you look at it.  The number of gung ho participants in YA! has declined significantly and will continue to do so until only occasional madmen are left.\nThe sad thing is that it's all caused by 9/11 and 9/11 was caused by AMERICAN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL AND NOTHING ELSE.

First of all, the number was 4,000, and second of all, 4,000 Jews did not leave the buildings. The claim comes from a story by Al-Manar, which said that 4,000 Israelis were supposed to have been in the WTC, but they never were found. What actually happened was the Israeli government issued a press-release saying that 4,000 Israelis were said to have been in the area of the WTC, not actually in the buildings, and not actually workers there.\n\n5 Israelis DID die in the WTC attack and and estimated 400-500 Jews died in the attacks, far higher than percentage of New York's population that is Jewish.

Based on the news reports they were more wannabes than anything else.  There were attempting to obtain explosives but trying to obtain explosives and obtaining explosives are two very different things. \n\nDo I believe they wanted to attack the Sears Tower absolutely!  Do I believe they would ever have been able to attack the Sears Tower; it is highly doubful.\n\nSince 9/11 the controls on explosives of all types have gotten much more stringent and local, state, and federal personnel are much more vigilant of these types of purchases.\n\nThe general public is also much more vigilant of these types of activities within the borders of the US.  Which is why you don't hear much from US terrorist groups. (ie; Aryan Nations et al)  Most of the US public does not want to see a repeat of the death and destruction which occurred on 9/11/2001.

Oh lordy, I thought I was alone.  There is NO evidence of any connection between Iraq and 9/11.\n\nJesus some of these people are dumb.

they waited five years because it really isn't a plane...it is actually a UFO full of aliens, and the landed here illegaly.\n\nThey had to wait untill the immigration debate became the hot topic.\n\nAnd also, it wasn't two planes that crashed into the twin towers, it was a missle.\n\n3000 plus people didn't die on 9/11...there hanging out in cryogenic suspension in area 51.\n\n\ncome on get over it....people hate us because of our values and our freedoms...they want us dead.\n\nBush didn't do it to improve his stadings and validate his presidency

Despite what the others say I do think that the goverment had something to do with 9/11.my thoughts are slightly different though.I think the government wanted to start a war so that they wouldn't look so bad starting a fight over oil, money, or drug dealings gone bad.They blamed the whole thing on one terrorist but went after a different one.Here it is one war and another term later the issue of 9/11 and the truth still hasn't been understood. it is rarley even talked about. All those people died so that "key players" wouldn't look guilty.This is just an opinion not a fact.

did you know that a FOX TV show depicts a U.S. government plot to crash a hijacked Boeing into the WTC six months before 9/11 ?\nDid you hear of THE LONE GUNMEN'S 'Pilot' Episode ?????\n\ntry watch this\n\nhttp://thewebfairy.com/killtown/lonegunm...\n\n\nand do you know you got better odds winning the lottery twice than that of a terrorist act's conincidince with a tv show ?\n\nif osama ben laden is one man ... and the the iraqi tyranis were "52", can they catch 52 and not catch "1" ? given that they declared equal wars on both countries ?

You idiot! I personally know a bunch of Jews who were killed in the towers. One of them happens to be my aunts brother. And there were many more. What do you say about that?\n\nIt's true that there weren't as many Jews killed, and there is a perfectly logical explanation for that. First of all Jews are only 1% of the worlds population so of course the percentage of Jews killed in the WTC would be less. Secondly, the week before the High Holy Days the we add some special prayers in the morning called "Selichos", which takes a very long time to say. There are countless stories of men who would have otherwise been in the tower, but were late just because of these prayers.\n\nG-d loves us and watching out for his special children. The lucky Jews who spent a few hours that morning begging G-d for a good year, where indeed saved just because of that. \n\nAND YOU'RE JEALOUS!!!!!!!

The truth is that Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, etc. etc. had been working to make The Project For A New American Century (PNAC) a reality. The problem was how to sell such an ambitious plan to a MOTR public. Pax Americana might make some people nervous. But if there was something like a terrorist attack on the country, then it could be put in place....as it was. The fact is that Bush had some information on the likelihood of some kind of an attack, but they had no idea of the magnitude of what actually did happen.( Hey. Even OBL was surprised) But They let it go, thinking it would be something more typical yet good enough to get the country into a fighting mood, which is exactly what was needed for PNAC to survive. Indeed, what's so remarkable, is that the PNAC document itself bemoans the unlikeliness of getting the MOTR America to follow its more ambitious plans *unless* something catastrophic happened to change people opinions on such matters. 9/11 happened, and everything since Afghanistan fits the PNAC template perfectly. Want to know why Iraq was attacked while OBL was left alone? Read PNAC. Want to know why the animosity to the World Court, to the United Nations, to any international standards of behavior? Read PNAC. It's all there in black and white.

Within their own country and own ranks, they probably aren't too handicapped yet.  But what pleases me is that at least we have kept them busy enough in their own backyard that there aren't anymore planes being flown into buildings anywhere lately.\n\nDon't forget  the war death toll of Americans still hasn't topped the 1 day talley of 9/11

I have not seen this but i can only imagine the theory behind 9/11.  I know that it was not by accident that the twin towers came a tumblin down...but i also know that it would never have happened if the gov't wasn't in on it. It is just to tragic and too big of a game for it to happen on American soil.
