My country has no problem with the U.S. Them influencing our culture and media was not necessarily a negative thing and neither did I make it out to be. Just clarifying that. A negative thing though, is them using NATO to make us spend taxpayers money on weaponizing syrian rebels in 2013 and other issues. Most dutchies don't even know or care.No matter how much internet you searched, your sources are still narrow and so is your world view. We are not discussing about what rights US have and how bad it is. The topic is terrorism and one particular terrorist attacks.
Your country' problem with US is one thing but that doesn't mean that the problem of terrorism doesn't exist or middle eastern do not interfere other nations- and no, I'm not talking about only their immediate neighbours. They played their game in Afghanistan too as well as in other places. Or US wouldn't have found a soul mate in those organizations eager to expand along with them- it's just bigger and was more resourceful so it took the lead. But, when you play with fire for your own purpose, no matter how expert you are, sometimes you may end up with burns yourself. That's what 9/11 was.
Most unbelievable part of this theory isn't the facts of the conspiracy - it's the competence of the execution. The fact that you believe that US officials were able to make so many fake leads across the globe , and plant money trails and to get the planes hijacked, blow the towers up with this many people, the people in the third plane who died in the crash calling home and none of the conspirators ever opened their mouth in all these years. It may be a sound action movie script but in RL it's too big a feat. If you just look at how many people would have needed to be involved and the level of skill, timing and finally secrecy to pull off such a grand 'inside job' I think you are giving the government too much credit. If their motivation was they wanted to go to war it would have been much easier to set of a few bomb or something like that.
Do the governments lie? Yes they do- mostly politicians with personal greed or ambitions or trying to hide their incompetence. The conspiracy makes them look highly competent and smart, while their adventures abroad, don't.
Either way- as you said US is no better than those countries that means the reverse is true too- so what makes you chose one story over the other? In the end it's just a mater of what and whom you chose to believe. You might try to feel in control armed with extra piece of "information" and of course it feels good to feel that you know better than all those sheep out there, you yourself are biased in favour of a certain opinion on this issue.
I have my own experience with extremists and terrorists( of many kinds) in my own country and threat of Taliban and related outfits is too near for us to ignore and pretend it's the government only.
Other than that, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. You think I should wear a tin foil hat, I think you underestimate them severely. And your lack of knowledge thereof is not helping your judgment either. Another mistake is thinking the politicians on the front line are in any form or way, leading these agendas. Strut away, pidgeon.
