Can somebody answer me this please?
I've been wondering something and would like the opinion from those who believes 9/11 to have been an inside job.
OK, theorists believe the buildings were rigged with explosives and it was a controlled demolition. They believe that a missle hit the Pentagon instead of a plane. Etc, etc. I get it. What I'm wondering is, and which I have yet to get a reasonable answer for no matter how many times I ask this: why in the world would anyone go to such lengths to engineer such elaborate measures, measures that are logistical nightmares, not only to set-up, execute, but also to conceal, when it wouldn't be necessary? Stop and think about it. Pull back from the details of the attacks and look at the larger picture. Why not simply recruit people to fly planes into the buildings and let it play out however it does? Why risk being discovered rigging the buildings? Or of witnesses hearing/seeing the charges detonating as they collapsed? Or having to explain away how they fell? Why use a missle instead of a plane, knowing that everyone near the Pentagon that day would've seen it and would then need to be paid off/silenced? Why NOT use a plane?
Do people really think if the buildings had not collapsed we would have not taken the exact same course of action that we have? Their collapse was not necessary to get the rationale for what the conspiracy theorists claim the attacks were meant for. You can bet your ass people would've been just as united behind any action the U.S. would've taken if the towers still stood today. People go to all the extensive lengths to explain away how the buildings fell, how (and with what) the Pentagon was hit, how phone calls from the flight that crashed were computer generated or whatever, but why? Why go to all that trouble, having to worry about all these different factors when all they had to do was recruit some nuts and let the cards land as they may? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to do otherwise. A small handful of people could accomplish what thousands supposedly did (if the conspiracy theorists are correct), all with much less effort and much more secrecy, and it would immediately make a conspiracy much more plausible.
So what is the advantage? I only see cons. The more complex something is, the much harder it is to keep secret and the higer risk for discovery. Don't you think if people wanted to accomplish such a conspiracy that they would want to keep it as simple as humanly possible? What is this morbid need to believe in some massive master plan that was set-up over many years and would require a massive amount of money, thousands of people who would then need to be paid off/silenced, not to mention having to keep it quiet from that point on? Please don't bother bringing up or arguing specifics of the attack, because I'm not interested and have heard it all before. I'm trying to look at the larger picture here as if I were wanting to commit a conspiracy myself, and would simply like an answer as to why make it some huge operation when it didn't need to be. My issue is not so much whether it's a conspiracy or not. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Let's all assume it is a conspiracy for a moment. As such, tell me what is the benefit of making it such an enormous logistical effort to pull off when simply recruiting and helping some extremists to hi-jack and fly commercial airliners into buildings would accomplish just as well what conspiracy theorists claim the attacks were for?
Thanks for any input.
