If you think the public would embrace the idea of attacking sovereign nations that had nothing to do with a hand full of wackos armed with pipe bombs, you're out of your mind. <<<The logic is that Al Queda did it.>>> You have funny ideas about "logic". For example, "IF" the hijackers were al Queda, then they would have left fingerprints all over the place - their cars, apartments, etc.. Establishing their identities would have been a simple matter of standard police procedure. At nearly two years after the fact, the ONLY official statement made to the public is that no one knows who the hijackers were. A list of names used to board the planes is the official spin, even though at least 7 of those identified are still alive. "Logic" would tell you that you don't have enough evidence to proceed beyond the realm of speculation. <<<If the conspiracy advocated by posters here were to either fail or be discovered, the risk to the conspirators would be impossible to calculate. If it were discovered that Israel was involved, the uproar would severely limit the very existence of Israel. It goes beyond any attempt to reason to think that Israel would do this even if ORDERED to do so by the CIA or NSA or DIA, etc. For a US agency, official, administrator, cabinet head, military leader were to be involved, one can only imagine the risk to that individual.>>> By your reasoning, bank robbers don't exist, for the simple reason they would be properly afraid of being caught and would refuse the risk. I suggest you take a trip back to the real world from la la land. In the real world criminals exist and will accept any amount of risk when the stakes are high enough to suit them. 9/11 was a bank job measured in the trillions of dollars.
