I'm not a conspiracy theorist and this isn't about whether or not they did it.
It's about whether you actually think your government would do something like this to galvanize the American public behind their cause?

I don't care one way or another if they did it , let it happen or not as I'm not unfortunate enough to be an American. Thats an issue for you to sort out.
I just simply want to know if you think it is beyond your government morally to do something so underhanded as that.

Lets leave out the party lines for this also.

Apples and oranges Mike.... race riots ( which America has had its fare share of ) and terror attacks are completely different animals.

9/11 was not done by the US government.

Here are some facts to back this up:

CLAIM: Some of the alleged hijackers are alive
FACT: This question was raised by the BBC because someone thought they might have seen a person, named as a hijacker, walking around. If this is true, it simply means we got a hijacker NAME wrong. That’s all. No one is disputing that 19 members of Al Qaeda attacked us & that they died in the jets.

It means nothing.
=================
CLAIM: Steel frame buildings can’t collapse from fire alone
FACT: The statement is both false & irrelevant

It's false because on 2/12/2005, a fire started in the Windsor building in Madrid, Spain, a 32-story tower framed in steel-reinforced concrete. In spite of the fire-proofing (concrete), the building collapsed, solely due to failure of the steel frame due to heat-weakening.

See
http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/compare/windsor.html

Also, every single steel-frame building on earth has FIRE-PROOFING around the steel frame. Why do you think they do that?

What fire ALONE can do is irrelevent because hundreds of published experts have pointed out that the towers collapsed because of DAMAGE caused by the jets, along with the fire weakening the steel.
==================
CLAIM: Explosions were heard by some people at the WTC on 9/11
FACT: Quote from NIST: “NIST reviewed all of the interviews conducted by the FDNY of firefighters (500 interviews) and in addition conducted its own set of interviews with emergency responders and building occupants. Taken as a whole, the interviews did not support the contention that explosives played a role in the collapse of the WTC Towers.”

From Section F of http://www.911proof.com/NIST.pdf
=====================
CLAIM: The steel was "rushed away" before it could be analyzed.
FACT: The claim is nonsense.

How the steel was handled was investigated by “ImplosionWorld,” the leading demolition journal in the world.

It has been completely verified that the steel was not “rushed away,” and you can see the results of the investigation in Point 6 at

http://www.implosionworld.com/Article-WTC%20STUDY%208-06%20w%20clarif%20as%20of%209-8-06%20.pdf

You will find a complete description of the way the steel was handled at each step.

Also, see how NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) analyzed the steel at:

NIST gallery of recovered steel & how it was analyzed
http://wtc.nist.gov/media/gallery.htm#recover

NIST NCSTAR 1-3: Mechanical and Metallurgical Analysis of Structural Steel
http://wtc.nist.gov/oct05NCSTAR1-3index.htm
================
CLAIM: There was molten steel for weeks at ground zero.
FACT: This would be impossible. Molten steel would cool too fast.

Also, NIST (National Institute on Science & Technology) said,
“In no instance did NIST report that steel in the WTC towers melted due to the fires.”

From Point 7 in
http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm
================
CLAIM: 9/11 Commission Report was no good
FACT: I've seen no specific evidence for this claim. It's vagueness suggests that it's not true.
=============
CLAIM: NIST has been "discredited"
FACT: There isn't the slightest proof that this organization (NIST), made up of hundreds of scientists, some of whom are world experts, is somehow unqualified or somehow all lying. This claim is a desperate falsehood.

More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East. Americans found that anger against the federal government is at record levels, saying they "personally are more angry" at the government than they used to be. Overall said it is "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them "because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East." "One out of three sounds high, but that may very well be right." A lot of people I've encountered believe the U.S. government was involved. "Many say the government planned the whole thing. Of course, we don't think the evidence leads that way at all. Americans speculate that secretly planted explosives, not burning passenger jets, were the real reason the massive twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed. Some conspiracy groups for at least two years have also questioned why the World Trade Center collapsed when fires that heavily damaged similar skyscrapers around the world did not cause such destruction, Americans suspect the Pentagon (I loss a friend) was struck by a military cruise missile in 2001 rather than by an airliner captured by terrorists. "Some people claim they can't see anything, but I saw a plane hitting the Pentagon at incredibly high speed. Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture reflect public anger at the unpopular Iraq war, realization that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction and growing doubts of the veracity of the Bush administration. "What has amazed me is not that there are conspiracy theories, but that they didn't seem to be getting any purchase among the American public until the last year. Although the Iraq war was not directly related to the 9/11 attacks, people are now looking back at 9/11 with much more skepticism than they used to. I certainly didn't think of conspiracies when 9/11 first happen. I don't know if President Bush was aware of the exact time it was going to happen. But he certainly didn't do enough to stop it. Bush was so intent on having his own little war. We know that there are a lot of people now asking questions. I believe the federal government is withholding proof of the existence of intelligent life from other planets.

This fact alone: that the terrorists were Saudi and we attacked Iraq, with no ties to AQ, should be a MAJOR head scratcher to most people. Unfortunately, to the average Joe, who's deluded that he's figured everything out about the mid east policies, Iraqi's are the same as Saudis and Iranians are Arabs and they're all helping each other destroy us because "they hate our freedoms"!!!
Let's wake up from our little dream and see that In this case ignorance is not bliss. This ignorance can kill us whether we're democrats or republicans, we need to get our country back. We need to be governed by people who represent us, not foreign lobby groups:

follow the evidence - there' nothing to back up the official account - not a shred, in fact there's much to point to it being false - not least the fact that many of the alleged hijackers are confirmed to be alive, that Osama Bin Laden was a CIA operative and was treated in the US hospital in Dubai in July 2001, and that there was numerous reports of explosions at the WTC and that Steel Structured building don't collapse due to hydro-carbon fire, that the 9/11 Commission Report omitted any testimony or evidence which didn't back up the official account - there is mountains more of (circumstantial) evidence and that is all that matters - not subjective opinions of what somebody thinks somebody is capable of.

Bush is no mastermind but he has to be complicit in a inside job plot .

Mad Scientist - There is plenty of anecdotal evidence to point to there being molten steel under the rubble long after the fuel fires . tis once again can't fit in with the official account .
The debris was deposed of so quickly( by Rudy Giuliani ) that is impossible to say what an independent forensic test might have shown - but there's a word for somebody who destroys evidence - GUILTY

So by that thinking one could say that the 1964 & 1969 race riots of Singapore were done by the Singapore government to weed out the Malaysian people; can you say holocaust?...People in glass houses..........

Apples & oranges? You're implying the US Gov. is capable of underhanded deeds to get what they want in the end: war with Iraq (for oil you may think). What would be more underhanded than a Gov. weeding out an unwanted culture within their borders? See Nazi Germany...that glass houses thing, again........

No, they would not be able to do something like a fake 9/11 attack, especially not in an era with current technology like ours.

When you try to pull of something like that, you do not do it in a way that is visible to hundreds of millions of people. Fake attacks to galvanize support for the government only work when people are not able to look into the facts and figure out what happened.

9/11 was very clearly the work of Islamic terrorists.

no longer all liberals agree on each and every difficulty. we agree on maximum matters. for that reason, you compromise with the liberal positions different than this one. it quite is okay. somewhat. ============== I comprehend the reason on your help of the deaath penalty - some crimes are so horrendous that quite this way of criminal is an animal, no longer extra healthful to stay. Do they deserve punishement? definitely. and vengence and fairness advise that this way of guy or woman would desire to undergo what he did to others. yet... the situation is, terrible as some crimes are, we would desire to be very very valuable that we've been given the superb guy or woman. If we will positioned somebody to loss of existence, we would desire to be somewhat valuable. and our device of trial, problems of information, and so on. ability that there are merely some cases the place we are in a position to be sure. and there are jurors who definitely believed somebody became into responsible, yet DNA has shown that the incarcerated guy or woman became into no longer the guy who committed the crime. that concerns me lots. besides, it somewhat is my handle it - and that i do no longer think of you're a hypocrite in any respect.

In no way did the US government have anything to do with 9/11. Because you aren't fortunate enough to be an American I can forgive your ignorance.

Even in the worst of times, I would like to believe we are better than the Nazi's (who are rumored by historians to have set a fire and place blame elsewhere to aid in their rise to power). And as such I don't believe our government planned the attacks. Incompetent in preventing them with ample information saying they were coming? yes, but creating the attacks... no.

I believe Bush is capable of 911 morally, (or immorally) but don't you think if they blew up the WTC with dynamite or C4 that they'd have some residue of it in the wreckage?
