That's not nessacarily true. Afganistan was no doubt a victim of the Cold War. America and Russia competed heavily for Afganistan and the poor Afgans were the victims of American and Soviet imperialism.
Also it wasn't simply an Afgan issue. The Afgans were angered over America's support of Isreal in the oppression of the Palestinians, America's military presence in 100 countries throughout the world, and it's decade long sanctions that killed thousands of children in Iraq.

You make good points, but even though it was brought on by themselves, it's not like the US could just lay back and pretend it didn't happen. The US would not have too many problems, realistically, if it just minded it's own business and quit intervening with other countries.

And everyone should know that all a pilot has to do is press a 4 digit code to alert ground control if a plane is going to be hijacked, how come magically none of the pilots of any of the 4 planes could pull off the task of typing in a 4 digit code on their side panel? Ya'll have been took.

LOL!
You really think that you're smarter than all of the investigators, scientists, engineers, pilots, etc that investigated the 9/11 events?
You can't even spell, how are you gonna crack an "conspiracy" that nobody else has from the seat of your computer?
MORON!
