I never understood 9/11 truthers until someone explained it that it was more comforting to at least believe someone was pulling the strings in the background because at least there was a plan, even if it was sinister, compared to accepting a militarily inferior enemy half way across the world can upend everything about your life seemingly randomly.

IMHO the whole point of 9/11 was to make Americans feel insecure and distrust their government

Go pick up a copy of "Through our Enemies' Eyes." It's an account from a CIA agent who did extensive research on the events and circumstances that led up to 9/11 and the actors involved. His conclusion: It's not really about that at all; the answers are much more personal than that.

There was a plan, and it was by Osama Bin Laden. But he was naive. He wanted the American people to question themselves why something like this would happen to them, then find out about all the horrible things USA has done to other nations. It was never about hating freedom.
