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).
Not to criticize your own efforts and sincerity on this subject, but if you read some of the most documented books written by investigative journalists, 9/11 whistleblowers, architects, and experts, you will find many compelling things about the conspiracy theory that you didn't know before. I will post some of them below.
Classified Woman - The Sibel Edmonds Story: A Memoir
Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001
The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11
The Shadow Factory: The NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America
9/11 Ten Years Later: When State Crimes Against Democracy Succeed
Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover Ups of 9/11 and Iraq
9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA
Secondly, you said that your MA thesis focused on "specifically how extreme ideologies can supplant more moderate ones and begin to enact changes in behavior relatively quickly," but that does not mean that you know much about the 9/11 itself nor about the CIA connections with most of the hijackers, the White House cover-ups, the whistleblowers, the use of false flag terror by the government, suppression of evidence from the 9/11 Commission, destruction of the 9/11 tapes, and so on. You have to gather a lot more information about 9/11 other than just knowing how extreme ideologies can change people's behavior relatively quickly. Information gathering is an important process when it comes to attaining knowledge about something (and that is basically what research is all about) - and after doing that - then you have to connect all the dots which will then allow you to make a more intelligent and informed decision.
The "hard evidence" will not always come and sit down right on you lap and say to you "Here you go, FC, here is the plain undeniable truth: 9/11 was inside job! Happy? Now you don't have to use your brain anymore!" ... No, and that's why you have to do more research and then, slowly and carefully, you have to combine all the pieces of information that you learned in order to get closer to the truth.

Again, I have posted many things, and most of the things have not been refuted and/or people are simply not reading what I wrote nor looking at the links that I posted.
Eyewitness to the explosions
Seismic wave evidence
Evidence of active thermite in the buildings
CIA whistleblower Susan Lindauer
The arrival of mysterious vans prior to the attacks
NORAD hijacking drills
Censorship of 9/11 whistleblowers
Destruction of the 9/11 tapes
More whistleblowers
9/11 hijackers' passports were issued by the CIA
and the list may get even bigger than this.
As for the logic of such a move, I have already discussed the possible motives behind USA to attack itself which all seem to fit with what forces are doing right now in the Gulf Region and what the planned to do even before the September attacks. The timing of the attack, America's plans to go war, it's foreknowledge about the attacks, the heavy CIA involvement behind the evolution of Al-Qaeda, the CIA links between the hijackers, and many other things that I posted throughout this thread, in my opinion, strongly suggest that 9/11 was a pre-planned terror attack that the US government played a major part in. All these pieces of information support each other (instead of contradicting each other) and that's what makes the 9/11 conspiracy theory even more likely to be true, i.e. because it is consistent. And I think it is just foolish to believe that all these things support each other just by a coincidence.
