Thank you for a mostly respectful reply. I thought the Straight Dope was a cite for intelligent conversation, but hoo boy, do some people get their panties in a bunch on this particular topic. To question the “official narrative” does not make one a conspiracy theorist, no matter how much some of you think it does. CPs I’ve seen for 9/11 don’t make a lot of sense: when would people have had time to plant explosives for a controlled demolition, for example? And why? We know there were 19 hijackers, all from Saudi Arabia (not sure why the US didn’t attack that country instead of Iraq), and we know that this was the first time an attack like this was carried out on US soil. This is not in dispute. It was a horrible tragedy.
What I find bizarre for such an otherwise intelligent forum is the lack of open-mindedness on this particular topic. A person can’t even ask questions, for fuck’s sake. That is not the sign of a healthy forum, and telling me what I think is an insult. Clearly, you don’t know me. People, you can do better.
