was WTC demo'ed? sure. probably. why not? would or should the government be honest about the destruction of a CIA office, its records, equipment etc or IRS office or all of the other important offices in that building? i don't agree they should. would we all be better off if they admitted to bringing that building down on purpose.. but not the others? doubtful. i think these arguments would be 10 times worse. and I don't think its a reasonable thing to create anarchy as an alternative.
furthermore, i personally tend to believe these discussions to be highly corrosive and destructive on the whole. "don't believe anything "they" tell you" is not exactly a tenet of a healthy, well functioning society (or individual for that matter). in fact, its the opposite. at its core, it undermines a society. should people not ask questions? of course they should. that's healthy. should people be running wild with impossible conspiracy theories, demanding that you be equally paranoid and distrustful of anyone in a position of authority? no... i don't think so.

i have to agree with you on some of this. there was a good reason why they staged the attack even if the population doesn't agree with it. the population would be outraged if they knew the truth. the truth is "oil" and iraq has 40% of the world's oil so they basically control us!
if we didn't go over there to keep an eye on our interests and they decided to strangle our economy by either overcharging the oil or witholding it altogether, the same people who were outraged by the attack would be saying "why can't we just go over there and make them sell it to us for a reasonable price?"
mark my words "we will never pull our troops out of iraq completely". there will always be many large military bases there.
