World Keeps Split Views on 9/11 Attacks

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - European and African adults are more likely to believe that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda, while those living in the Middle East are decidedly more skeptical, according to a poll by WorldPublicOpinion.org. More than 70 per cent of respondents in Kenya and Nigeria, and more than half in Germany, France, Britain, Russia and Italy, believe al-Qaeda was behind the attacks.

In Egypt and Jordan, at least three-in-ten respondents believe Israel was involved in the 9/11 plot, while three-in-ten people in Turkey and Mexico suggest that the United States government was responsible for the event.

Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked and crashed four airplanes in the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, killing nearly 3,000 people. In July 2004, the federal commission that investigated the events of 9/11 concluded that "none of the measures adopted by the U.S. government from 1998 to 2001 disturbed or even delayed the progress of the al-Qaeda plot" and pointed out government failures of "imagination, policy, capabilities, and management."

Afghanistan has been the main battleground in the war on terrorism. In October 2001, U.S. president George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan, claiming that there would be "no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbour them." The conflict began after the Taliban regime refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, prime suspect in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

In August 2006, London’s Metropolitan Police Service announced that more than 20 people had been arrested in connection with an alleged terrorist plot. According to the authorities, a group planned to destroy airplanes flying from Britain to the U.S. by detonating bombs manufactured with materials that could be brought on board as part of a passenger’s carry-on luggage.

U.S. homeland security secretary Michael Chertoff said the plot "would have rivaled 9/11 in terms of the number of deaths and in terms of the impact on the international economy."

Do people around the world comprehend skyscrapers?

The Empire State Building is SEVENTY SEVEN years old. How do you build a skyscraper that can hold itself up and withstand the wind without figuring out how much steel and concrete to put on every level? Doesn't it obviously have to get stronger toward the bottom? Doesn't that mean it must get heavier toward the bottom?

So how is it that the nation that put men on the moon can't tell the entire world the TONS of STEEL and TONS of CONCRETE on every level of buildings designed before the moon landing SEVEN YEARS after their destruction?

So how do the top 16 stories supposedly come straight down crushing everything below without people DEMANDING to know the distribution of steel and concrete? It doesn't matter who flew the planes. That is physically impossible. All of the engineering schools in the US are accomplices after the fact by not bringing up the importance of the distribution of mass in the towers. That 10,000 page NCSTAR1 report only mentions the importance of the information in TWO PLACES. And they claim to be "world renowned experts" on building collapses.

The way this story is written is interesting. If you look at the original poll numbers, less than half of the entire world believes the official 9/11 story. Less than half, despite continuous propaganda for seven years!

This story is shaped to give the impression that the really notable result is that the people of the Middle East (read: Arabs and Muslims) don't believe the official story. But the results from the Middle East are just the most exaggerated. The fact that less than half of the world believes al-Qaeda did 9/11 is remarkable, and perhaps a credit to the 9/11 Truth Movement.
