The IRA DID 9/11

The argument made by the pro is very odd indeed and many pieces of it don't seem to go together. There is a part of me which thinks the Pro is simply trolling.Many of the examples of Irish people affected by the attacks do not link in any way to the proposal that the IRA committed the 9/11 attacks.His first claim seeming to link to any theory surrounding the perpetrators of the attacks seems to be connected to four Irish construction workers who were in the US illegally. The pro alleges that these construction workers could have planted explosives in the twin towers. This would mean that the September 11th attacks were not hijackings, but was simply a bombing. This doesn't change the fact, though, that airplanes crashed into each tower. The argument made does not add up to the facts.The pro then points to the case of the Colombian 3, and then points out that the FARC was alleged to have ties to Al Qaeda, however in the article used by the Pro to support this claim, it actually points out the US government lied about the FARCs ties to Al Qaeda, so this claim can be dismissed.The Pro then moves to allege US government involvement in 9/11 alongside the IRA, by pointing out that Richard Haas was in Dublin on September 11, 2001. He points to Richard Haas, however, I fail to understand how this links to the allegations mad by the Pro, as he then points to Richard Egan, who met with the former chief of staff of the IRA and Egan was a founder of EMC, which profited from contracts secured post 9/11. This simply does not add up to US officials, or simply Egan alone, working with the IRA. Egan had only arrived in Ireland a month earlier, and Egan resigned from EMC in January of 2001. A conspiracy such as 9/11 would have taken years of planning and coordination, and this would not have been possible for Egan since he had only arrived in Ireland a month before.Are we supposed to believe these are all coincidences? Yes, because none of them are interconnected and none of them support the conclusion the IRA was behind 9/11.Moreover, there is nothing to suggest the IRA had anything to do with 9/11.The IRA would have had no motive to attack the US. While the IRA had been very critical of US foreign policy, the Irish American community was one of its main sources of funds and arms during the Troubles, and American support for their message remained high even after the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. By attacking the US and killing thousands of Americans, the IRA would have destroyed any support it had among the Irish American community. Additionally, it would have halted the Northern Ireland peace process in its tracks, something which the IRA had been working to comply with since the agreement was signed in 1998.We can also see that the 9/11 attacks themselves have nothing in common with IRA tactics. After a bomb was planted, the IRA would make a phone call to someone, usually chosen at random, telling them either the general time or a clue as to the location. No warnings of this type were made prior to the 9/11 attacks. Additionally, the IRA never used suicide attacks as a tactic. 9/11 has no similarities to IRA attacks at all and there is simply no motive for it.It is clear from this that the IRA had nothing to do with 9/11.
