    Logic? Architects and Engineers, are these using this to further their argument against something?

    Lets forget the rubble was whisked out of the US to china before anyone could examine it forensically.

    For me they knew it was coming and ensured the effects were devastating, and ensured those buildings went down, Building no 7 just fell over because of smoke damage? They had the Israelis demo those building up

    So you got no opinion on Bush and his rigged election prior to this whole **** storm?

    Moon landings lol, never believed they were faked.

    I don't want to make this thread about 9\11 Donga but they have history for it, they have used the israelis before to start a war, the USS Liberty was attacked by Israeli planes, ordered by the president of the United states, the captain was given medals and ordered never to speak about it.

    History repeats its self is all I will say.

    How many architects and enginerrs (real ones, not gimps who have to go on YouTube to be listened too) do you need me to post to counter this drivel? The combined weight of the Twin Towers collapsing in such a relatively small area was like a major earthquake on the surrounding buildings. Hell, Barnes Wallis designed a 20k lb bomb
    that could devastate a whole block with its earthquake effect. And ffs, Betty Ong's recorded message of her flying into the North Tower at the moment of impact, just as a plane was being filmed flying into it....

    Sisu, you're a bright bloke, but look up Occam's Razor. Anyhow, as you say, this discussion ain't about 9/11, or even the dreadful record of Anglo-American interventions in the Middle East. The whole tinderbox may blow at any moment, with a war between Sunnis and Shi'ites dragging in the whole Muslim world (and isrealis) and some of them have nuclear capabilities.Arming anyone is just adding to this, and to this point try and read an artticle by Robert frisk in the Independent today. It's a ****ing mess.

    Robert Fisk has been alleged to be a 'creative' writer by a number of journalists and photographers across industry, so its probably best not to use him as a source for anything too 'colourful'.
    Note to the OP - the Western Allies is the 1930's were officially neutral in the Spanish Civil War and certainly did not side with the Nationalists. Unofficially, anti-fascists flocked to support the Republicans, forming the International Brigades, coming from Britian, France, the USA and even Italy, Germany and Hungary(as well as volunteers from the Soviet Union). Some of the most famous included George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, US Author Arthur H. Landis and future West German Chancellor Willy Brandt.

    This entire mess is due in some part to the artificial construction of countries following the dismemberment of the old Ottoman Empire after World War 1. It is also due to extremely conservative societies and a certain level of religious hostility between the branches of Islam - that particular emnity goes way back to the inheritence of the Prophet, the Shia believed that his son Ali should have been the next Caliph, not Abu Bakr, who is accepted by the Sunni. Further, Ali's line was to have continued as Caliph, but were ousted by Muawiyah, a popular military leader in Syria, and Ali was assassinated. Ali's son Husayn was also killed. This led to the formal breach between the two groups.

    Simplistically, for those interested - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shi%27a%E2%80%93Sunni_relations#Modern_Sunni.E2.80.93Shia_relations - yes its Wikipedia, but its a start point...
