That's the point. How could anyone possibly know the truth when all we've been given is a bunch of lies from an untrustworthy source.

My first inclination is to follow the money. Who is profiting? This war has cost tax payers trillions. Who profited?
Billions annually is being made in poppies. Who is profiting?
Unocal threatened to bomb Afghanistan if they weren't allowed to build a pipeline through the country. How long does it take to build a pipeline through an entire country? 13 years? Longer?
It is estimated that there is up to $10 TRILLION in natural resources in Afghanistan. Who is profiting?
Is this why Russia invaded in the 1980s?
Is this why America fought WITH Afghanistan to keep the Russians out?

Why is profiting from the war on terrorism not the headline story on every news channel for the last 13 years?

Answer these questions first and we'll begin to unravel this mystery. But not until then.

There's a reason we've been bogged down for 13 years and our attentions redirected towards arguing about how and how many buildings fell that day and how hot jet fuel burns, etc. etc.

It can't be said enough.. it's about money. It's ALWAYS about money.

I gave you a simple task - I asked you to give me ONE viable alternative. I said, "Don't say you don't know."

We live in a world of facts and evidence. I subsequently agreed with you that governments lie, etc.

Good question.

Good question.

However, not an answer to "What is the 4th, 5th, 6th viable alternative?"

In criminal investigations, the suspect list typically gets built on, "method,motive and opportunity".

I agree with you that money is a strong motive. However, it answers NOTHING. North American and Grumman both made a lot of money off the space program. Doesn't mean they triggered the space race. I, personally, made a nice paychec in Iraq. Doesn't mean I'm responsible for 9/11 (For the record, I am not responsible for 9/11).

So - if AQ didn't do it (I have little doubt you have rejected this possibility) and the Joos didn't do it (maybe you think they do), then we either did it ourselves, directly, or cooperated with them and covered it up - which makes it us doing it to ourselves, effectively.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you believe this, but even many 9/11 truthers realize how crazy this sounds when you say it out loud - because of the implication of how far up, down and sideways it must have been - a minimum of several thousand people must have been in on it and have kept a code of silence (or been silenced?) since then.

And you don't want to say that, because if you do, nobody will listen to you. So you take the Glenn Beck approach and say, "I'm just asking questions. Nothing can be believed."

Fine then, I don't believe you.
