There may not be agreement on "exactly" what the message is but it follows that if people don't believe the official story they must consider that the US government was in some way involved in what took place. At one end of the scale, people could feel the government was negligent because it did not respond to the ample warnings that a terrorist attack was imminent or, at the other end of the scale, that the US government actually did the whole thing. >One of the greatest short comings among 9/11 researchers is a lack of consensus on what actually happened Because of the complexity of what transpired there are a whole range of possibilities for governmental omission or commission and therefore for the way "911 dissidents" could think or feel. Indeed, it is the very complexity of the event and the number of people who would have had to be involved to carry it out that many believe make a conspiracy impossible. They would argue that surely someone, somewhere, would have come forward to make a statement that what happened was not what we were told happened? Others simply cannot bring themselves to accept that the government and the president, whom they hold in the highest regard, could, in any way, be involved in a dastardly act against the American people. For this reason, they consider that anyone who believes differently is either being subversive or else is simply nuts. > who actually had their finger on the trigger on 9/11. It's not possible for "ordinary" people to know that, only to speculate about it.
