I haven't paid much attention to the 9/11 conspiracy theories because the events, as they were reported, seem pretty plausable to me. Not to say that I don't beleive that our administration is filled with lying, rat bastards. I just think that these events were a product of incompetence rather than anything more sinister. This administration seems to lock their focus on things like Iraq, Energy policy, gays, and social security reform; meanwhile neglecting everything else such as disaster relief from a hurricane, reports that Bin Laden was interested in running airplanes into buildings, and basically anything else that doesn't line up with their agenda. I think they were given plenty of evidence to suggest that 9/11 was inevitable but they were too busy figuring out how to get reelected than doing what was in the best interest of the country.
Not conspiricy, just flat out neglegence due to short sighted political goals.
And, iSm, you can add the fact that I'm just as fascinated by the events that occured on 9/11 to the list of things we have in common.
I think that part of it does stem from coming from NY. I remember the skyline before they were there and the sense of awe and wonder after they were built. I never would have imagined that some day they were going to be removed from that skyline, especially in the way that it occurred.
And part of it is simply its historical significance. This attack was unprecedented and horrific and was burned into our memory as vividly as those alive during the Kennedy assasination. I never understood how an event could be so memorable to the extent that damn near everyone could recall in detail exactly what they were doing when they heard the news. Now, I understand.
