Is there a concept bigger than 9/11 and the opposing sides on that issue ?

Question

Do the people who say 9/11 was an inside job a government set up or an Israeli plot or whatever - should they be shut up ?

Should they be made to "go away" shunned with no exposure ? Some polls say 1/3 of the population do not believe the government story ....

What about those who do believe the government ? What about them ? Should they be made to go away and forced to shut up ?

-------------------

I do not believe the government line - I do not say I know what happened - but much of the governments story looks like a guilty one that does not add up - Some of the things that have been said (by both sides ) are impossible

----------

I found myself in an odd situation as of late -

Defending someone's right to agree with the government -

Is the concept of "free speech" and fair treatment of all sides a bigger concept than the actual events and the disagreements ?

Or should we all by brute force or by subversion or by other means just shut those who disagree with us up ?

Answer 1

Y'know, I was going to say, "No, conspiracists shouldn't be made to shut up and go away," but, really, you people are getting so tiresome. How you could possibly think that the government with Bush or Clinton had any idea that any of that was going to happen truly boggles the mind. I'm all for free speech, but couldn't you find something new to whine about?

Answer 2

I think it's more telling about the thoughts regarding the administration on this front than anything.  It's also telling on the national cynicism toward US politics that has emerged since Watergate.

I read something by Noam Chomsky, which I believe.  He stated that 9/11 was such a large act that took such a vast amount of planning that someone would have come forward regarding it.  A secretary or a custodian, or even higher up would have said something.  We had a Deep throat for Watergate, I'd assume that we don't have all callous individuals in all aspects of government.

Answer 4

911 being an inside job would have required the Bush administration to put together a plan, and the plan to have been successful.

What are the odds of that happening.

Answer 8

In my view the 9-11 inside job or "Israel did it" theories have been amply refuted. You can talk all you want, but you know as well as I that the idiocy has been used and is still being used by people who hate the President. Not 10 days after the attack we were hearing this BS from liberal democrats who had more of an interest in using it for political gain than in defending the Country.

Answer 9

There's an independent committee to investigate 911, of good will, whatever their views are should fight to have this investigation, no matter where the chips fall.The Kean Commission set up by Bush whitewashed the whole tragedy. What are they hiding.

Answer 10

You could also use the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina to further your own personal agenda...ever think when you talk like you do about 9/11 you cause the people who lived it pain?

Answer 11

Don't take the government's word for it if you're not comfortable with it.

It's our civic duty to be suspicious of the government but, to carry it to the extreme of paranoia is obsessive and destructive.  In a word, insane. Take the word of eye witnesses.  

Why don't theorists come up with at least one of the thousands of people who were stuck in traffic on I395 in DC and watched a PLANE, a COMMERCIAL JET LINER fly over the site now occupied by the Air Force memorial and into the side of the Pentagon?

There are normal every day US citizens and even some foreigners who witnessed the entire event in real time.  I'm personally acquainted with about a dozen of them.  It wasn't a missile. No need to rely on the government.  People who just won't let it go in spite of these facts do need to be stifled.  They distract from the real debate and cause needless animosity for the sake of self aggrandizement.  They need to just shut up and go lie down.

Popular mechanics killed all the conspiracy stuff long ago.
