Well, I don't think Bush was actually behind 9/11. I'm not sure if our government is sophisticated enough to pull something like that off. But, I do think they may have "just let it happen". Why? Well, for one thing, it was a great excuse to beef up the military in a post cold war world in which enemies were few and far between and higher levels of military spending were hard to justify. In fact, the military got a $50 Billion shot in the arm shortly after 9/11. Also, it was a great excuse for them to consolidate their power. It gave Bush a huge approval ratings boost and gave his Presidency legitmacy that it had previously lacked in many American's eyes. Also, and perhaps the main reason why they just "let it happen" is because, it gave them an excuse to engage in strategic wars that would establish a major U.S. presence in the oil and mineral rich Central Asian region and the oil rich Middle East. I have a hard time believing that our CIA, the most powerful intelligence agency in the world, had no clue that the 9/11 attacks were in the works. Add to that, the FBI investigations pre-9/11 that were squashed and you have a conspiracy to ponder.
