It's not entirely unreasonable to question how and why the world Trade Center was brought down. In fact I think it’s are patriotic duty to question why and how are country was attacked. If more people questioned the Reichstag Fire maybe Hitler wouldn’t have risen to power. I know it’s the common conception that false flag attacks are only used by maniacs seeking world domination, but it simply isn’t the case. The United States has sponsored false flag attacks simply for the purpose of raising generating public support for government agendas. Look at Operation Northwoods. I don’t care what kind of results people end up at after reviewing information on the 9/11 attacks. It’s just important, as citizens, that we don’t always eat up the spin presented to us. It’s so incredibly ignorant to try and persuade people not think critically about a world event as important as 9/11, especially when you do so in the name of patriotism. I’m not trying to promote outrageous conspiracy theories, I’m simply trying to advocate the ability to question the government for the sake of our country.

There are a lot of really good movies that focus on this issue. "Loose Change" is the name of one. Another more theoretically based film is "V for Vendetta", one of my favorites. I agree, it's important for us as constituents in a democracy to question the intentions and actions of the federal government. The social contract wasn't invented for just anything - it's our obligation as citizens to have the ability to check our government.

Asking questions is always good. the people behind things like Loose Change though ignore even the basic rules of critical thinking, logic and evidence and turn the process of asking serious questions and engaging in critical inquiry a joke. If it's in Loose Change, you can pretty much assume that the opposite is true. The History Channel had a great show in response to Loose Change, which showed that many of the "arguments" that the filmmakers make defy basic knowledge of engineering and other things.
To question what happened on 911 is not wrong. There is a lot of evidence that proves that the U.S., could have been behind attacks but that does not mean it is true. There are many pieces of evidence that were confiscated when the attacks happened, and like other cases the U.S. government does not release the true story all the time.

There is no evidence that "proves" the U.S. had anything to do with 9/11.
