Generally, humans tend to believe that the greater the impact, the greater the cause.
No one likes to believe a single unbalanced individual could kill the leader of the greatest nation on Earth; no one likes to believe 19 unbalanced individuals could wipe out the two tallest buildings in New York City and kill nearly 3000 people.
If small causes can have great effects, then what could happen as a result of the decisions we make in our daily life? Well, realistically, some pretty drastic things could happen from some pretty trivial decisions. Your decision to enjoy the nice weather and walk to the store instead of drive could result in a bus running you down in the crosswalk.
That's pretty unsettling to a lot of people, so they need a cause that's equal in magnitude to the effect.
(You see this a lot in fighter pilots, as well. They tend to think they're the greatest pilot in the world and that that skill will get them through even the worst scenarios still alive. Any pilot that gets shot down, no matter how good their reputation may have been, is automatically seen as an idiot that shouldn't been allowed to fly. You should hear them talk about Stuart O'Grady, the guy that was shot down in Bosnia. Nobody wants to die because of bad luck.)

Most of what these conspiracy theories tell me about 9/11, I can debunk myself at the spot when I look at the movie. These conspiracy theorists also leave out a lot of available information for their own benefit, and what they use, they re-shape and twist around and only use a one-sided vision of the situation to make it fit. And the tone in these movies is very insinuating and they make it sound like "if you still don't believe it, you must be one of the stupidest people on the face of the earth" And the debunkers are more scientific and better journalists then the composers of these theories. The only thing that I really have no clue of is if the US government really knew about it, possibly even the date, and did nothing about it. They could have just let it go through to get their new Pearl Harbor, but all the rest is Al Qaida's job.
If I wrote an article claiming George Bush is funding the Iranian nuclear program, are you gonna believe it, or debunk it (in fact it might be true, the US just might be Iran's biggest oil-consumer).

EVERYONE VIEWS THE 9/11 IN DIFFERRENT WAYS, YOU MAY SAY THAT IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB, BUT SOME MAY THINK DIFFERENTLY. MAYBE IT'S NOT STUPIDITY, OR BEING BRAINWASHED BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT HAVE READ OR LOOKED AT THE EVIDENCE ABOUT THE "IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB" THEORY.
SOME PEOPLE ARE BLIND TO FACTS, BECAUSE A LIE OR MYTH SOUNDS BETTER THAN THE TRUTH AND WE ALL KNOW THAT LIES, RUMORS, AND MYTHS, SEX, AND SCANDALS SELL LIKE HOTCAKES!!. AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU PUT OUT TO THE PUBLIC IS TRUE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND YOU CAN STAND BEHIND YOUR DECISION THEN YOU WILL EVENTUALLY CHANGE SOMEBODY'S MIND ONTHE 9/11 TRAGEDY.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD WRITE YOUR ARTICLE ON THE EARTH IS ROUND JUST TO SEE WHAT KIND OF FEED BACK THAT YOU GET BACK.
I HOPE THIS HELPS!!.

The definition of your own word "debunk" - "to show something to be false" might be why no one believes that crap. If it is the truth it can't be debunked.
Write some article debunking the fact that the earth is round and I'll show you a globe. There by debunking your statement.
Stop taking things at face value. If you take 5 seconds to evaluate what is in front of you, you (not us) won't be so stupid.

The problem is with 9/11 is that there is no evidence at all, to prove any of the theories including the official one.
People do not want to believe that their own government would do this to them, which helps them to believe that it was 'terrorists'. However, there has been a tactic used by governments across time to get their people on-side by doing dreadful things, e.g. the Germans bombing their own parliament to get public backing for WW2, the Americans allowing Pearl Harbor to occur to get the people behind them joining WW2, and so on....

People like you who fall for every conspiracy theory that comes along are the problem. No matter how much hard evidence to the contrary, you continue to close mindedly and blindly insist that you are right and everyone else is wrong.
