I think that far more important than the various theories of
who/what/why is the fact that the reaction to the events of 9/11 are so
entirely out of scale.

Consider that 4X more US Citizens die each year from drunk driving
accidents. Consider that the reaction has caused the deaths of more US
servicemen than those that died on 9/11. Consider the impact of waging a
war that we can't pay for and what it is doing to our economy. 

Obviously the government has given us their accounting for the events of
9/11 and they are going to stick to that story. I am far more concerned
with the loss of freedoms, the economic damage and the exploitation of
nationalistic fervor done under auspices of those events.
