I believe 9/11 was an inside job now

Yea, that makes a big difference if I would buy into a conspiracy theory or not, in general. I would need to know motive. That makes all the difference.

The manner in which the buildings collapsed will be directly influenced by the political atmosphere. This would be the case if the buildings really were demolished. Therefore, if we look at the WTC buildings in isolation and come to a conclusion, it will have powerful implications for what the political atmosphere would have been like. And, personally, I find it a lot easier to analyze something physical such as buildings collapsing than the political atmosphere. Physics doesn't lie.

Cause and effect, though, which was really what I was asking in my other post a whilst back.

The political and social context of the event may also impact on the way the act is carried out too. I think it's impossible to look at weather the WTC was demolished in a controlled demolition synchronically. Indeed, I think doing a diachronic analysis really does blow the idea that the WTC was demolished out of the water if I'm honest.
