It's really amusing (and a bit sad) that so many people aren't actually addressing your question. They're just attacking you for daring to ask it. It's troubling that even trying to get information nowadays to form an opinion is sneered at.
To answer your question, the US (specifically the Bush administration) would get a justification to engage in broad control measures under the auspices of their war on terror.
It's worth noting that the measures put into place by the Patriot Act, as well as the warrantless wiretapping and other surveillance programs, were all proposed by Cheney and Rumsfeld (same ones) back in the 1970s, but were rejected by Congress then. Don't take my word for it. Read the transcripts of the hearings and the legislative history for FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act). Bush Sr., Cheney and Rumsfeld made the same arguments and wanted the same intrusive authority 30 years ago.
While I don't personally think the Towers were a result of US govt action, they did provide a timely justification for Bush to get what he wanted, and to make the power play for his Unitary Executive theory that makes the actions of the president unreviewable by Congress or the courts. So while I don't think the US govt staged the incident, I do think Bush took advantage of it as the perfect justification for what Rumsfeld and Cheney have been trying to do for decades.

I am glad people are asking this question more and more frequently. It shows that not everyone is ready to just believe anything our government troughs in our faces. We should be able to ask these questions and people should not get upset when presented with it. Why is it so unreasonable to people that this could happen to a country and that is all we are. We are just a country and if the people elected in office have a global plan for world domination why would you not think that they would sacrifice 3000 American lives to further their agenda. I'm not saying this is the case but I am saying that it is possible and I am not closed off to the fact that anyone is capable of anything.
If you watch the news and they are interviewing the Serial Killers
neighbor what do they always say. "He was such a good neighbor I would have never would have thought he was a murder". Well if we don't pay close attention to our government like the German's failed to do with Hitler we can fall just as easy as they did when a corrupt group of individuals decided to take over our government. Absolute power always breeds absolute corruption and right now the White House has to much power.

Well some people would get what they want, which might be war. I have looked at a lot of the footage and I do find it funny that the big towers didn't shear off just below the crash area and fall leaving alot of the tower standing also there was a much smaller building to one side and it fell in a most peculiar way. You know the government needs reasons to attack another country, if islamics slam a plane into a American building Americans are gonna be pissed and want islamics bombed. Who knows maybe the cia trained a group thru the use of osama, he once worked for the cia, no one knows we can guess, war would benifit the military indutrial complex, also the oil people if the middle east is in total kaos. Maybe you can figure it out and let us know.

Blah Blah Blah. For Gods sakes people. THERE WAS NO STAGING OF 9/11! I dont care what scientist said what. It just didnt happen. And for your info, Israel has been attacked by Hizbullah for quite a while now. They are now fighting back. Hizbullah is using the people of Lebanon as shields yet you probably wont hear that from the news you read because its one sided. If Lebanon would kick Hiz out then that would be a great help yet they have continued to let them stay. Open up your damn eyes and ears and quit listening to wack jobs like Michael Moore.

Fear. "Fear leads to anger and anger leads to the dark side..." OK, enough of the Yoda quotes. Fear is a very powerful political tool. It allows the government to grab powers it would never be able to claim in times of peace. I doubt that the Republicans had anything to do with actually planning it, but there is evidence that they ignored warnings. Let's face it, it's the best thing that ever happened to them politically. If Bush hadn't gotten off track with the Iraq war and other blunders, he'd probably still be riding the wave of popularity from his post-9/11 anti-terrorism speeches. And let's not forget all of the money Halliburton is raking in from those defense contracts. Power and money are the things the Bush administration craves most, and that one event brought them both.

Many things:
1. Bush lacked legitimacy and he needed your support.
2. Bush and friends needed a platform to launch their war in the Middle East to secure oil resources (they had already secured Albertan resources in Canada).
3. Bush was in collusion with investors who demanded that heavy industrial infrastructure (i.s., steel industry) be revitalized. A warfare is just the best justification for steel industry in a time when all the efforts are directed towards enhancing knowledge development.
However, it wasn't the US behind this, but Bush & Co. The US had already rejected Bush on election day and this is why he rigged the elections.
AND YOU SO ALLOWED IT!!! THE REST OF THE WORLD FINDS YOUR GULLIBILITY HARD TO PUT UP WITH.

Plain and simple: The US gets reason to enter the Middle East. They have been wanting to a long time now, and 9/11 was a catalyst for them to. The Middle Eastern countries are the only other countries in the world (besides China) who have the potential to become powerful. America is afraid of that.

well, seeing how they lost billions of dollors due to it, they are not getting money....the professor are getting black balled because when questions were asked, they could not answer.....like, how come the WTC& building couldn't fall due to seismic shaking and the pressure that would have been produced from underneath, as the WTC fell?
there was WMDs, and about 2 metric tons recovered, and they are still being recovered today....check it out....or write me, and I will give you dates and places and even the chemical tht was found
And why is it the Hezbollah is targeting only cities, where civilians are? and why ahve they ignored the UN, and the USA, and North Korea, and Russia, and every country that has ever had a resolution against them from the UN

Well, they are certainly on their way to turning America into a police state. The Patriot Act would never have passed in a "pre-9/11" United States.

The "Official Story" of 9/11 is the REAL conspiracy theory. There is no doubt that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were orchestrated by the criminal elite of the U.S Government. Also, there is no evidence that suggests that the official story is true. The FACTS all lead to the TRUTH and that’s what I'm trying to give you.
A few things to consider:
1. OPERATION NORTHWOODS:
(Early 1960s proposal to JFK that we hijack our own aircraft as pretext to invade Cuba, drafted by the highest-ups of the U.S Department of Defense at the time. When Kennedy saw this document he was appalled and fired then Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Louis Lemnitzer. Just a U.S example of false flag terrorism as pretext to further the political interests of the U.S Government.
2. PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDER “W199i":
(Signed by G.W Bush to specifically back off FBI/CIA off Al Qaeda
3. WTC7 COLLAPSE:
(The building that was 300 feet away from the twin towers that mysteriously collapsed onto itself on 9/11. There were buildings closer to WTC twin towers that were damaged much more severely that stand to this day. It was not hit by any aircraft.
4. OPERATION NORTHERN VIGILANCE AND ABLE DANGER:
It just so happens that there were drills ON 9/11 that were carried out by NORAD that simulated planes going into WTC towers and the Pentagon…(There were also drills in London during the 7/7 bombings simulating the same exact event) Coincidence? I think not. This drill also incorporated fake “blips” on the radar screen to indicate the simulated highjacked planes. With this drill going on there were 22 suspicious dots that NORAD could not distinguish from being real or fake. This “well timed” drill confused NORAD.
5. OSAMA BIN LADEN “CONFESSION” TAPE:
This is the only proof Osama was behind the attacks and it obvious the video was manufactured propaganda. For one, even though the video is grainy and of low quality, it’s obviously not Bin Laden. In the video he is writing something on a notepad with his RIGHT hand. Bin Laden is LEFT handed. A gold ring is also visible on his ring finger. Gold jewelry is forbidden for religious reasons.
Osama also said that he never attacked us. He said that it would have been against his religion to attack a group of people unprovoked.
OFFICAL STORY: Fire from within the WTC buildings weakened the steel within the structure causing it to collapse...No building with a steel frame structure ever fell because of fire… Not to mention lease owner of the WTC complex Larry Silverstein said himself that he "pulled" the building...A common demolition term for "demolish".
It takes weeks and weeks to plan a demolition. I guess Silverstein had a demolition team go into WTC7, Analyze the structure, unpack the explosives, set up the charges, and demolish it in about 8 hours. All during the biggest national crisis this generation has seen.
How about all the witness testimony saying they have heard and felt explosions within the WTC towers?
I could go on and on...If you decide to call me dumb, moronic, or Un-American be my guest. Just realize that personal attacks on me only give me more weight in the argument. Do your own research...Realize that you are losing your liberties more and more each day...Just look at the Patriot Act, The Patriot Act completely skews the constitutional rights of citizens.
Pass on all of your knowledge to your friends and family. Enlighten everyone you know.
For the sake of Liberty and Freedom it is imperative that you take this information under your wing and spread the word as your patriotic duty. DO NOT BELIEVE ME…Do your own research like I have. Look up these documents. Put the puzzle together.
Uncovering 9/11 is the only way we can stop this war on oil and humanity (A.K.A terrorism). Help save the lives of the American soldiers that are being wasted at the disposal of the New World Order.
It’s about time to wake up America...Before it is too late.
