Everybody nows about the attacks of 9/11 and how the terrorist group lead by Osama bin laden was behind the whole thing. Well there are people in the world who think that the government did the attacks. The reason they think this is becasue they wonder why they had no fighter jets ready to intercept any aircrafts that would go off route. In 2006 42% of Americans believed that the attacks were made by the government. http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1860871_1860876_1861013,00.html
I personally think that the government did not do such a thing to bring terror and fear to the whole world. I think Osama bin laden was behind the whole thing and is responsible for what happend on that day in 2001. Even though people believe the government might have done it I don't think they would attack America in such a horrible way. I could kinda see how some people think that the government was responsible for the attacks because some people look at the government as a threat and not wanting to do anything for America.
1. Do you think that the government is behind the attacks?
2. How do you feel about people thinking the government is behind the attacks?

Great topic choice and great job replying to student comments! I do think your summary could have explained things a bit better and was a tad short as a result.
I do not believe that the government was behind the attack on 9/11 because why would they kill, and harm tons of thousands of people on purpose?. I highly doubt and disagree that the government planned this because what kind of government and attack their own country and take family from people.
No, because they would have a lot to cover up and it would've cost them a lot of money. The people would've rioted against the government. To be honest, I think they are really disloyal to their own government. They would've received so much negativity.
I don't think the government is behind the attacks, because why would we go through all the trouble of killing people and destroying buildings just to spend money to rebuild them. 9/11 is also one of the worst things to happen in our country so it doesn't make sense that the government would want to do that to their own people.
I don't the government was behind the attack because why would they want to that to their own economy and their own people. because the 9/11 attack really had an impact on the U.S mostly in a negative way so I don't think the government was behind the attack.
I agree it wouldn't make sense that they would attack a government building and kill thousands of innocent lifes that didn't deserve to die at all. The attacks really did bring down America and impact us big time in a negative way. I don't think killing thousands of people just because is something the government would ever do.
1. I feel that the government wouldn't have killed thousands of people and temporarily jeopardize our economy to install fear into the people. These attacks were clearly an act of war from Osama and his followers. We also can't forget that Osama claimed responsibility for the actions and most countries gave the country condolences, here is a link if you are interested in what some countries did to help support the US:

2. I think that it is absoloutly insane for people to think that the president and government would be behind the attacks because, like I said earlier, why would the government jeopardize our country's economy?
I agree it just brought fear to Americans still to this day and of course on that day to. Yes Osama and his group were clearly behind this even the evidence shows us that, and he confesed to the attacks but some people still think the government was behind it is very bizare. If the government did this attack it would just put America into a depression I think because there would be nobody to protect us.
I don't think that the government is behind the attacks because if they were they would have to live the fact that they killed innocient lives and people working for them. I can understand how people think that the government is behind it but their just isn't enough evidence to prove that they did so I think that people shouldn't belive that the government did it.
I agree they couldn't live with the fact of killing thousands of innocent Americans for no reason of doing it. The evidence shows that terrorist did this attack and that it would be crazy to think the government did this since the evidence had shown Osama bin ladens terrorist group hijacked the planes and crashed them.
