Bill, I see you have decided to make some serious comments here after all. Great. I withdraw my previous remarks, and I look forward to further serious discussion, as opposed to just ridiculing people who are of a different opinion.

Now, regarding the possibility that the towers did indeed fall simply because the airplanes hit them...and that certainly is a possibility one could give some consideration to, depending on which evidence from which sources one chooses to go with...then how about the possibility that the administration could have been complicit in enabling the attack to go forward in any case?

To put it simply, what if a few powerful people in the USA wanted Al Qaeda to commit such an act of terrorism so they could go ahead and fight some wars they very much wanted to fight anyway?

That doesn't challenge your beliefs about how the towers fell at all, Bill, but it still raises the possibility of a domestic conspiracy at a high level...and not one that would have required the complicity of very many individuals or the placement of any bombs to pull it off. Just a few people in key command positions would be all that was required. A tiny group of individuals in the Bush administration could have done it, providing they were the right people who could issue the necessary orders to NORAD, the intelligence services, etc.
