common-sense systemic bias
Common sense shows that the U.S would have major geo-politcal motives for orchecstrating the 9/11 attacks. You will agree that the occuaption of the oil-rich country of Iraq,the extension of U.S military presence in Afghanistan [which provides America with a certain amount of significance in the Indian Subcontinent (a highly important area in terms of political significance)] will be enough motive for the U.S to fake the "terrorist attacks" on 9/11.
Not really. If the US wanted a solid motive for invading Iraq it would be fairly trivial to plant some WMD for the inspectors to find. Or allow them to shoot down one of the planes patrolling the no fly zone. Fair trivial and produces a much stronger case than the unrelated 9/11
If the US wanted a military presence in the Indian sub continent they could of, Oh to chose a random country, paid Tajikistan to put a base there. Could have been sold as supporting about the only democracy amongst all those former bits of the USSR. Or they could have gone to Nepal to sort out the Maoist lot.
