Because they dont want to face the truth!.........  If I was a terrorist freak, and I heard that the US was coming, I wouldnt leave them there, I would move them to a Country that is off limits to Americans, which is what happened.....duhh, honestly, the ignorance of some people is soo amazing to me....

Man you are coming with some good questions!! People that keep their minds in little small boxes are scared to see the big truth. They are comfortable in their little box, full of narrow mindness and ignoarance. You are absolutely right my freind, when you tell people something that goes against what they have learned or even better, things that they don't know, they get so offended and take it personal!! How can people love to be in denial!??! Doesn't it remind you of the narrowed minded people that were told that the Earth was round and the public killed them!?!?

I think that people believe in conspiracy theories because they crave excitement. The reason that there is more talk about these ideas now is there is more media available. People seem to want to be the first to "know" what happened. What was the cause, the effect and the idea behind certain events. We thrive on "bad" news in particular. If we didn't, then the evening news wouldn't be nearly as interesting as it is for some. I do watch the news (some) but, it has gotten almost boring in that it is the same old same old all the time. I do like a good novel though so good luck in your endeavor, perhaps I will read a book by you one day.

Americans can't seem to have an intelligent debate anymore. Our media-obsessed culture cuts everything up into 10 second sound-bytes. The easiest way to brainwash someone is to repeat the same phrase over and over. Every speech our president gives includes some reference to 9/11. How often have we heard things like "freedom is on the march", or "they hate us for our freedoms"?\n\n      “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” - Joseph Goebbels

Every person has to look at the evidence and judge for themselves.\nThe 9/11 commission had a lot more to say than just Bush's people didn't do it. There was some things that seemed suspicous to them as well. Not just the "conspiracy theorists". That's what you call labeling intimidation. Like Non-patriots, those folks who question Bush's handling of just about everything since he's been in office. Apparently some trigger-happy-labelers forgot that we have the right as US citizens to question or government right up to the top. But wait these are the same folks who believe our rights should only be upheld when it suits the guy riding in Air Force One.\n\nLook at the footage, closely. Check out the so called "conspiracy theorist"'s movies like Fahrenheit 9/11.\nFor my tastes there are too many friends and relatives in the immediate vicinity of what happened for it just to be a co-ink-e-dink.\nPlus he wanted a war from the time he got in office, nothing stimulates the economy better, and it certainly made him a people's president when he "stood up" for America; he certainly wasn't going to earn that title with all the infrastructure work he was doing or building a better domestic policy (guess that would've been too much like work and we all know he likes month long vaca's at the Ranch).\n\nI don't suggest you believe everything you read or hear from start to finish, but look with your own eyes, and be prepared to be very disappointed with what's happened to your homeland.

Not even close. The reason for 9/11 is that radical muslim terrorists view all non-muslims as infidels that need to be wiped off the face of the earth. This was just ONE attack in that plan!

Most people are afraid of things they do not understand

They do that because they are afraid of hearing about things that go against what they believe in.

People are going to believe what they want to believe.  I saw a plane crash into a building.  Was it real or was it created by Hollywood.  The only people that really know are the one's that were there.  Al Qaida has taken resposibility for the 911 attacks. So? Who do you think did it?

People will believe anything ! You can't change their mind . It is just a bunch of Bush hating going on. I suppose then the USS Cole was staged. How about the Trade center bombing in the 90's, under some other Presidents watch. How about the Embassy in Kenya bombing. I could give several other examples in Europe as well.  Some people need to get a grip of reality and really believe that there are people that will stop at nothing to kill us! They do not believe in the American way of Freedom period.

NO!!!!  Go to www.popularmechanics.com and find the article about debunking the 9/11 myths.  And please, please, use your common sense!  Why in the WORLD would the government do something like that?  And HOW?!  It would take YEARS to come up with such an idea, and longer to go through with it.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  Quit watching Loose Change!

Because they seem to have the medias ear after 9/11. Also political correctness means every one needs to be labeled these days as somthing or other.

Yes, I do.  It's very sobering to become a sceptical person about our government and to realize that they would knowingly condone this heinous act of murder.\nI once was one who believed that Al-Qaeda was soley behind 9/11.  Then about 2 months ago my wife brought home a DVD that reexamined all the evidence about how the WTC buildings collapsed, and it also showed a lot about the Pentagon attack.  Yes, I once was a person who thought that all these "conspiracy theorists" were just a bunch of nut cakes.  But, again, the physical evidence about what happened is quite shocking. \nThe web page below contains a lot of technical articles.  It is also easy to find other web sites that present a lot of information.  If you go to an "official" web site about 9/11, it's interesting to see how they side-step the hard questions that are being presented and cannot be sufficiently answered by jets simply crashing into buildings.\nSo, what does all of this mean?  We, the American public, have been duped.  But, what does that really change?  Has any of our personal lives really changed all that much?  How much of a difference does it personally make to us if it was Al-Qaeda or our own government that murdered innocent American lives?\nAnd so, we go on.  We live each day.  I ask myself what can I possibly do to get the truth out?  Being on the other side, one of the "conspiracy" nuts, is hard .. it's hard because no one wants to believe you.

Are you guys really that clueless?\nI agree that the media puts it's own swing on it especially during rating time or lack of other doomsday news. but come on have you not realized terrorism is very real and an even bigger deal then you apparently are able to grasp. by no means should we walk around being afraid but waking up and dealing with it would be nice.

I think a lot of people's worst fears were realized....\n\nAnd now I watched just the first few minutes of the video.\n\nYou know what, this is even WORSE than what the general media pulls.\n\nThe definition of "explosion" is very loose here.  It could explain the sounds of individual levels of floors slapping together, starting a chain reaction that could not be stopped as the gravity of Earth pulled the buildings toward it.  Thinking of how many hundreds of gallons of fuel spilled out and down into the buildings along with all the remaining flammable materials, there would be LOADS of explosions.\n\nIt is just stupid, selfish, and cowardice for people to blame anyone else than the retards that hijacked and flew the planes into the buildings.  But, if you feel the need to hold the government accountable, especially Bush, then go ahead.  He doesn't care, not one bit!!!  And most think that he is too stupid to notice.....RIIIIIIIIGHT!!
