I've just read the entire thread, and while I don't really have much to say for either side that hasn't already been said, I have made a few observations.
It seems to me that what you believe about what happened on 9/11 has a lot to do with your political beliefs. Bush supporters will stick behind their man, whereas those of us who are none too fond of GWB will attempt to make him out to be as maniacal/plotting/negative as possible. It's only natural, I suppose, but it definitly subtracts much of our ability to discuss this subject rationally.
That said, I do not believe any single political party is behind this. It's not a Republican conspiracy, nor is it a Democratic conspiracy. Is it Bush? I doubt it. I think that if anything, he's only a puppet for those who I think may be behind this. I'm tempted to say those people are Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, etc, but that seems too obvious. Maybe what we've been told is correct, and it's the Islam fundamentalists. I really don't know.
Here are the reasons I think certain groups would benefit from 9/11.
Islam Fundamentalists -- The obvious choice, really. Who else is nutty enough to do something like this? Occam's Razor says these are the people behind it, but I always thought Occam's Razor was BS.
Those in favor of globilization -- Create an attack on the US to create a cause for war in the middle east. Iraq happens to be in a very good geographical position for purposes of launching attacks into the surrounding areas.
Larry Silverstein, owner of the World Trade Center -- He gained 3.2 billion dollars to rebuild the WTC (well, not the WTC, but a new building(s) in place of the towers).
I didn't say any of this as well as I wanted to, but that's an attempt anyway.
