Well now that the "truther" side has listed their info, here are a few places to find reality.
www.911myths.com...
Extensive collection of media reports, witness statements and FOIA requests about that day. It also examines the majority of the conspiracy theories the reasons behind them and the probable reasons they are not accurate.

Deals mostly with the destruction of the towers and why they were not demolished.

Detailed examination of the engine debris found at the Pentagon and why it confirms it was a Boeing 757 that hit the building.

Discussing why the "truth" claim that ground effect would prevent Flight 77 from hitting the Pentagon is without merit.

Interview with one of the engineers who investigated the collapses.

Do you have kids?
You know your kids. You grow up with them growing up. You hear when they are genuine - every time they are genuine. You know when they want some something, every time they want something. You know when they lie, every time they lie. No "evidence" required.
You can substitute all of that with western democracy and media.
I am not a robot. I cannot train my beliefs to be based on "official" anything let alone what would be admissible in court.

I guess I need a good starting point to understand motives regarding 9/11. Anyone help?

Sure!
I think I would suggest looking up a book The Secret History of Al-Qaida by Abdel Bari Atwan he gives some really good details of the ideology behind those who were responsible for the attacks that is pretty good for somebody just starting out looking for a bit of back ground on motivations. I also think a good understanding of the teachings of a guy called Sayyid Qutb and a understanding of Salafist Wahhabisim is a good start before you start getting into other radical teachings.
Finally a good look at what happened in 1979 to the Islamic world is also quite a interesting starting point in history I think for the radical brand of Islam we see to day.
Any questions shoot me a U2U

Those sources will give you nothing on possible motivations for why any branch of the US Government would want to kill almost 3000 Americans in such a tragically spectacular way. There are quite a lot of idea's behind what may have motivated them, a good documentary series called "the Power of Nightmares" is probably another good one to look up as it gives you a idea of the motivation for the terrorists but also goes into the neoconservitive movement. Form the documentary you can infer some possible motivations that the neocons may have had.
Everyone will eventually know that al-Qaeda never existed, acted under the control of the US Government and acted on its own initiative but with the passive complicity of the US Government to hijack planes, not hijack planes and try but fail to hijack planes, that the US Government, a small rogue element within the US Government, and Mossad operating without the knowledge of the US Government crashed the planes into the towers under remote control, crashed different planes into the towers undeer remote control, didn't crash any planes into the towers but projected holograms of the planes crashing into the towers, and didn't crash or project anything but convinced everyone that planes hit the towers by showing it to them on TV, after which the towers were blown up by explosives that made lots of explosions that everybody heard, weakened by thermite silently which explains why nobody heard any explosions, blown up by nuclear weapons in the cellar which started collapses from the top, and turned entirely to dust by energy beams from space which is why there was no debris, and that the debris pile was then kept hot for months by thermite that hadn't reacted when it all reacted to bring the towers down, and all the steel that wasn't there was immediately taken to China which is why the steel recovered shows signs of explosives, melting and dustification, and a plane, a missile, a different plane and a hologram all crashed into the Pentagon except that it was only one of them, or pulled up at the last second and flew over the Pentagon, leaving a neat 12 foot hole that caused 90 feet of the bit of the wall that had recently been reinforced to collapse, and another plane was shot down at Shanksville then landed in Cleveland leaving no wreckage at Shanksville that was spread out over too large an area to be from a crash even though it didn't exist. That's what really happened, and some day everyone will figure out how obvious it all is.
