Some buildings, due to their own structural requirements may need 'assistance' to collapse neatly, such as explosives etc - again, if this means that a single building collapse remains contained, that seems sensible to me.
The idea that every tower is wired for demolition is probably not something a building's manufacturer/owner wants to broadcast to the general populace, it's unlikely to convince people to pay their rent on time.
Now, I'm not sure what the issues are here, but I keep hearing about how the way the towers collapsed so uniformly appears to be suspect. It seems reasonable to me that in such extraordinary circumstances, people responsible for those buildings may need to make the decision to demolish the buildings neatly, rather than risk them toppling over and causing further devestation.
Does that sound reasonable?
On its own, I really don't think that issue alone is enough to warrant a governmental conspiracy.

That is a very intelligent and reasonable theory. Have you ever been in a really tall building? I know I've been in the Empire State building, the St. Louis Arch, and the Eiffel Tower. Would you go anywhere near a building if you knew it were wired with explosives, even if they were there for your own good? If your theory is correct, that means that many people died and their families and friends don't know what really happened. That's the core of what the 9/11 discussions are about. These 3000 lives that were lost are of pinnacle importance, as they are the basis of several wars and policies. If the buildings were demolished, that means that it is likely that they were going to fall in a way that was less safe than a controlled demolition. If that saved livs, great. But if that costes lives, it is wrong. The reason secrets are dangerous is that sometimes those who keep the secret miss something those outside of the secret can see. What if the charges had gone off prematurely? What if they had gone off accedentally long before 9/11? Did those working in the building know that they were working near thermite (the most likely type of charge to be used on a steel reinforced building, such as the WTC)? Oddly enough, look up 'thermite' on Google. The third page is a 9/11 conspiracy page. It's a link to whatreallyhappened.com.
