It's amazing to me...

That people believe that the same government that can't teach six-year-olds to read somehow managed to take down two buildings in New York City and fire a missile into the Pentagon...and keep it a secret. Even though the scope of a conspiracy like this must have involved hundreds of people, not a single one of them has come forward and said, "Dudes, this is what really happened."

But there are people who are supposedly smarter than me that believe this.

Meh. They're just stealing the plot from an episode of The Lone Gunmen, which aired well before 9/11. I remember thinking that terrorists watch too much TV...

Meh.

Man hasn't walked on the moon either. That was all faked, and you can tell by how the flag is waving in the wind in the photos!

If someone can make money off it, they will find a way to convince others to believe it. These conspiracy theorists have books to sell, after all.

These are the same people who think that George W. Bush is no better than a trained chimp. Make up your minds, people. He's either a brilliant tactician, or he's dumb as a post. The two are mutually exclusive, and orchestrating something like 9/11 would take months of meticulous planning.

Oh, never mind. Dick Cheney masterminded it all...

i also have a hard time believing any conspiracy theory that relies on the government being well-organized and secretive.

also, people who believe conspiracies that say the president caused 9/11 also believe that he is too stupid to win the war in Iraq. that seems inconsistent to me.

He's either a brilliant tactician or a trained chimp. They can't have it both ways, but they certainly seem to be trying to.

My first reaction, when it was mentioned in passing on the UK news that there were people in the US who actually believed that the attack on the Pentagon was a missile not a plane (with an air of 'stupid people' in the newsman's voice, I'm sure you will be glad to hear!) - was if it wasn't the plane what on Earth do they think happened to the plane? I've looked at a couple of links online, and no-one seems to have anything to say about that!

I watched the 911 conspiracy video going around the Internet. It raised some questions that I would like to explore further, but, on the whole, it was too strident, stretched too far, and wanted too badly to be some grand conspiracy.

I loved X-Files and Lone Gunmen, so I am naturally a skeptic when it comes to power and its abuses, but I have to agree with you that a cover-up of this scale would be nigh impossible.

With all the cell phones, Internet, videos, and people involved, I can't imagine that too much could have been overlooked.
