Debate: 9/11 was an inside job.
Side: Obviously...Wake up, America!

Wow...the History Channel and TLC or Discovery both did animated stories of exactly why the WTC suffered a catastrophic collapse.Even at the time of the collapse architects and engineers both agreed that the temperatures created by burning jet fuel is more then enough to melt girders. Collapse would have been inevitable. The only question was the speed with which it took place.The problem was two fold. All the girders and support structures were insulated. What happened was that the inertia of a plane wasn't taken into account and the insulation was basically 'knocked' off as the plane hit. That still shouldn't have been enough.The second part of the problem is that the central core of the building, where the elevators were, is 'the' support structure for the building. Plans originally called for stronger walls surrounding this core. They were replaced with simpler facings. It's not entirely clear how much of a difference the original design would have helped but it is clear that the redesign did absolutely nothing to impede the momentum of the aircrafts.Structural damage to that core was the major cause of the WTC collapse.But let's go with the theory, I think, you're proposing.Hire/inspire a large group of terrorist into committing a coordinated attack. Then coordinate that with operatives planting some type of thermal device within the WTC building. There by doubling your chances that either end of the plot will be discovered.Let's say I buy your theory.1. Why is it so important to collapse two entire towers? I may not be an expert in psychology but an attack on the towers and the pentagon killing hundreds, should be more then enough to spur the American people to exact revenge. Even if you say it is important. Both...Both...Both Towers??? You are asking me to believe that our government wouldn't be happy if hundreds died and they could tie it into terrorism. They wouldn't be happy if a thousand died, "a" tower collapsed and they could tie it into terrorism. You want me to believe that our government wanted thousand"s" to die, two towers to collapse and tie it all into terrorism. So basically you're saying Bush wanted to hit the "big bang trifecta"? The same Bush who displays incompetency like ornaments on a Christmas tree. The same Bush who had a difficult time coordinating government relief in New Orleans? With experienced agencies who've coordinated relief efforts before mind you.This alone should be enough but let's say I still believe your theory has merit... 2. Is the catastrophic collapse worth exponentially increasing your risk of discovery; two ends of a plot, more people involved, a longer money trail, added complexity???3. Why attack the pentagon too?4. Why bother to cover up the thermal devices within??? If someone figures it out, roll your eyes in wonder and confirm how brilliantly conceived the terrorist plot truly was.5. Same as #2. Is the cover up worth increasing your chance of discovery. You pointed out how easy it was to discover the truth?6. Is it possible the 'molten steel' wasn't mentioned because who cares? What difference does it make? There was paper littered all over the place. They didn't mention that. There was a lady on a wheelchair in the stairwell they didn't mention that. Oh my what are we to read into all these omissions?Szechuan...you are the person the terrorist were targeting. All the people in the tower were killed to get to you. People like you sowing the seeds of doubt. People like you spreading paranoia. Don't let the terrorists get to you Szechuan. Remain strong; if not for your country then for apple pie and hot dogs.
