Better to be proud than to be ungrateful, though of course that doesn't mean that you are right in being a demolition denier.
None of the evidence presented convinces me that my own research is wrong. FYI, I did an MA thesis that led and concluded with the 9/11 attacks, specifically how extreme ideologies can supplant more moderate ones and begin to enact changes in behavior relatively quickly (drawing a parallel between, say, the ideologies of AQ and that of the communist anarchist Georges Sorel, a surprising synthesis I found).
Claiming demolition, or CIA led false flag attacks, tends to completely ignore the other factors that led to the "official" story, namely years of alienation, resentment, ideological development and the changes that occur in people's outlook on life and their current situation.
AQ is most definitely not a creation of the CIA, at least not directly. Of course, AQ also bombed embassies and military vessels (USS Cole) way before it attacked the US directly using 4 planes as delivery devices for carnage. The US also bombed Afghanistan way before 9/11 in retaliation to some of these (tomahawk attacks in the 90s). Just part of the very complex and interwoven context that gets completely ignored when someone says 'the us government did it. Is a false flag to get resources (or whatever)". It actually makes light of what is a very devastating and era defining moment in time.
The evidence doesn't add up, and neither does the logic of such a move.
And that's all I have to say. The 9/11 attacks will forever be debated by people who refuse to accept the evidence. It's the same with the 7/7 attacks or the JFK assassination. People want to be right and, more importantly, they want to be contrarian on such issues because, should it ever come to light that they were right, they can stand there and say "look, I told you! I was right and you were wrong"
Not accusing you of doing this, but almost every interaction I've had with truthers has led me to this conclusion.
