    Probably allowed to happen by the CIA. Nothing much else besides that. The events occurred as they needed to occur. Most conspiracy theories on the subject are kinda crank and don’t really make sense to me. They seem to be more focused on the how rather than the why. I think that a lot of it is “there’s no way planes could bring down the towers” as if the US wouldn’t go to war and take any opportunity they could to kill brown people if the towers had remained standing

      If you want any convincing, the TrueAnon series on the subject goes extremely deep on the why.

      But in terms of consequence it didn't really matter if it was allowed or not.

        I understand the why for either side. Osama Bin Laden wanted to make a statement and get revenge on the US, and the CIA wanted to depose an Anti colonialist leader in Iraq

          I'd say we wanted much more than that: an indefinite military occupation of an entire region and the patriot act immediately spring to mind.

            Yes. The patriot act is a beginning to the kind of state in which authoritarianism occurs for the wrong reasons.
