9/11 was a conspiracy not a conspiracy theory

I wish I could participate in the debate but sadly my knowledge of this is very minimal. I do believe, from what I've seen and know, the USA government was involved or let it happen, as the OP states.

Oh, and just what exactly is it that you've "seen and know" that led you to believe that the US government was involved or carried out the attacks that was different from what millions of us right here in the NY/NJ metro area witnessed right in front of our own lying eyes?  Homemade YouTube videos or foreign media reports?  Please.

For anyone to believe in any conspiracy regarding 9/11, you either have to have a predisposed negative viewpoint of the US and/or its government, or you are simply to young to actually remember the attacks, and just believe everything you see and hear on YouTube and nutty websites like Infowars and PrisonPlanet.

Yeah. foreign and youtube videos, is there a problem? I mean that's where the truth most likely would lie, from the people, not the goverment officials. A foreigner would have a less biased perspective or more biased, who knows. Look man, I don't see why it bothers you that we believe on somethign different. I've heard stories, spoken to a few people and yes, watched some youtube videos and came to a conclusion and if that bothers you, that we think differently or bash your beloved goverment, well that's just ice on the conspiracy cake.

No problem at all... so if I "speak to a few people"  regarding the Japanese earthquake and tsnunami disaster, and then post a YouTube video proclaming that the government lied to the Japanese people regarding the extent of the meltdown and radiation, and also accuse them of not doing enough to protect the people of Japan and creating a hazardous situation that allowed the disaster to become as extensive as it was by building nuclear reactors right near the coast in a well-known earthquake-prone region of the world... well then, that would be "the truth" because it's coming from me as opposed to government officials who always lie, right?

Governments aren't the only ones who can spread and disseminate propaganda on "the people", you know.  And that's all the 9/11 Truther crap is... propaganda spread by people who either have way too much time on their hands or who so wish it to be true because they have a deep-seeded hatred for the US.

It's the same thing with the "Birthers"... people who are so opposed to the idea of a black man of Kenyan descent being president that they refuse to believe he's a bonafide US citizen that they spend all their time spreading disinformation about his origins around the internet hoping that they will stick.  Whether it's cries about "building 7" or the "long form birth certificate", it's all the same bullshit, just wrapped up in different packages.
