Again, I understand that they passed the Patriot Act and invaded Iraq. They did so as a response (IMO unneeded) to the 9/11 attacks.
Are you then saying that they orchestrated the 9/11 attacks so that they could carry these things out? If so what really did they stand to gain from doing so? Power? You could argue that Bush had less power after invading Iraq. After 9/11 the world stood at our backs. When he decided to invade Iraq many of those countries were against us and he cost us a lot of credibility.
Money? There are a million ways companies like Halliburton can make a ton of money from government contracts without taking the risks that a 9/11 attacks would put on them.
So I still see no real answer as to why our leaders would carry this attack out on us.
