But now that I've really looked into the whole thing, examined both sides of the story and weighed the evidence carefully, I found that I was mistaken. As evil as I think Bush and his administration is, I just can't find any good evidence that they were behind 9/11. And it turns out that hardly any of the conspiracy theorists can agree on just what the hell went on. Some people say a missile hit the Pentagon, some say it was a military drone, some say it was a remote control plane, some say it was the plane the government says it was. If it was so obvious that this was faked, wouldn't the evidence point to the same conclusions for independently working researchers?

The WTC fires were different from fires in steel structures in prior incidents. Never before had somebody crashed jets into skyscrapers like that. Nearly full tanks of jet fuel were emptied into several floors of office equipment and set on fire. And don't forget that the structures, as you may expect, were severely damaged by the gaping holes punched into the buildings by the planes. Is it so unbelievable to think that a section might weaken and collapse, and then the weight of the top of the building would cause the destruction of the building below?
Welcome to the wonderful world of the neo-cons. LOL
