You do know that buildings on demolitions, again ESPECIALLY skyscrapers, are notoriously unpredictable and even demolition experts can predict how a building will fall.
You also do realize that a controlled demolition of the twin towers would take hunreds upon hundreds of pounds of explosives and weeks to setup. So they somehow smuggled in all those explosives, wired them up, installed fuses, all in not just one but TWO of the most active buildings on the planet and no one noticed?
Thats not mentioning that our gov't had no motives to do this, nor would our gov't even be able to pull the elaborate scheme that "Loose Change" tries to insinuate that they do.
But you know those are just facts, who listens to facts when someones spinning a good story.
But interesting facts are what make a good story. Why is the way the towers fell proof against a controlled demolition? A conspiracy to destroy them wouldn't care
how they fell, so long as they did so, leaving the rest to chance. After all, the plot is to kill thousands.
A busy building makes smuggling easier, not harder. You expect to see thousands of strangers in dozens of uniforms swarming up and down with packages of all kinds.
The melting points and weaknesses of metals are irrelevant to the conspiracy-believing mind. Maybe the aircraft
could've brought down the towers, but that's not what they were form. They were props for the alibi; any additional devastation caused was a bonus.
Motives abound. Machievelli, a man much admired (and misunderstood) by Rove, once said that the best way to bring a country together was through war. And what better than a permanent war to bring the country together permanently? Whatever crazy ambitions we might imagine the government to have, many benefit by a docile and trusting populace. Regulate the Internet? Invade other countries? Give cash to big business? A shadowy foe allows such activities to be cloaked in Patriotic rhetoric.
Now that I'm doing playing the Devil's Advocate, I'd like to point out that it's the Bush Administration's failures to capitalize on the fervor after the attacks that convinces me that, rather than the brilliant and effective manipulators the conspiracists would have us believe, they're the foolishly idealists that they appear. The internet wasn't regulated, Muslims weren't rounded up into camps, dissidents didn't find themselves jailed, elections were not suspended, independent news sources were not shut down, martial law was not imposed, etc. Genuine dictatorships take these types of steps to impose order and further they're agenda. Further, a brilliant conspiracy would not jump into a war in Iraq and then
sink. They'd fight, win, get the oil and glory. Another sharp victory, another opportunity to press their agenda. I can't simultaneously believe that some group is both masterful and idiotic at the same time.
And where all the follow-up terror attacks to cement their rule? Where are the WMDs? I'm still waiting.
