I've seen a lot of boolocks aout it too, but there are just too many coincidences for it all to have happened with no help/knowledge from the US government.

Re targets : I still think that any sizeable civil target would have done, simply because the US wasn't used to foreign terrorists daring to blow up anything on US soil. The shock of planes taking out the UN building in New York, for example, would not only shock the US to go to war, but would also bring many other nations in against the terrorists than have done so far.
The problem with conspiracy theorists is that they overanalyse everything. My wife does the same - I'd say something completely innocently and she'd interpret it with loads of 'meaning' (intonation, phrasing, underlying meanings of words blah blah).
It's also a form of denial - eg. that there must be more to it than a bunch of nutters with penknives because that would be (a) not complicated enough and (b) mean that the US civilian infrastructure is populated with numb-nuts. When you've been hit badly, it's always tempting to believe that you've been somehow cheated.
Take JFK. It's not enough for people to believe that a no-hoper like Oswald actually killed their national hero. But he certainly did.
Also, all real conspiracies have weak points. The participants are only human and are tempted by riches and fame to eventually spill the beans on what they've been up to. Anything on a wide scale involves quite a few people, many of which will not be fully-paid up conspirators and will be even more open to influence.It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. www.areyoupopular.mobiComment

Well I don't belive that oswald did it by himself if he did. That one bullet he used to kill the president is mighty amazing and i'd love to have a few of those, I could take a random shot into the houses of parliament and the amazing bullet would take out TB and half of his cronies in one fell swoopComment

Conspiracy theories
Like someone said earlier, if only conspiracy theories were offering a simpler explanation to account for what happened than the official line. Be it the assassination of JFK, the death of Diana or the fall of the Twin Towers etc etc etc. all require us to be more gullible than were we to believe what ACTUALLY happened. For this reason, I am out.Comment
