The case has been made. It's on dozens of websites. It is called the 9/11 truth movement. This is a forum FOR the 9/11 conspiracy discussion.

P.S. I strongly suspect the "9/11 Truth Movement" is itself being fostered and controlled by certain government elements to keep suspicious minds focused on "fun with physics"

This thread is pointless and only leads to furthering the gap between both 'sides'.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, informed or otherwise. Debate it with them, sure, but don't abuse each other because you think differently.
Just let it go that some people won't believe it was one way or the other and deal with it.

Huge teams of demolitions experts, who had no problem wiring a building full of innocent New Yorkers to explode, hired in secret, worked every night for what had to be a year (and that's only if they had a big enough crew) placing maybe 10,000 separate charges in each tower and another few thousand in WTC 7 (the smaller WTC tower that also collapsed, later in the day on 9/11).

You guessed it. They were paid to stay silent. Hey, why not? Probably half a million people there, but, you know. Since we've got the checkbook out anyway...
Also, think of all of the friends and family of these paid conspirators, who suddenly see all this mysterious wealth...
And here's the kicker...
100% of the people who were offered the deal, took it.

For the most part, communities of 'skeptics' who consider science to be the only valid rule - are denying the scientific evidence presented by experts that 9/11 was controlled. This leads me to believe that they are either incapable of accepting the evidence mentally, or emotionally.

the terrorists would actually stand to lose the most. If they were clued up enough to carry out these attacks so meticulously, don't you think they'd have knowledge of the kind of repercussions that would face them afterwards?

The problem with connecting that duplicity with the events of 9/11 is that those events would have required too much risk. There were a hundred ways to get us into another war if that's what they were after.

The terrorist got exactly the response they expected. They knew the U.S. would come out swinging at some Islamic countries, Afghanistan for sure. Basically 9/11 was A.Q. throwing down gasoline on the wood of the Middle East, knowing full well that the U.S. would supply the match to light it. They (AQ) wanted the battle.

Yes. The didn't want to but they certainly were prepared for such an outcome.
Do you seriously think they wanted to be forced into hiding, scattered into other countries, and be persecuted in almost every Western country? They really wanted a war with the most advanced army on this planet?
Who in the world would predict that the United States wouldn't go after A.Q. and Afghanistan for harboring them? It quite honestly was almost a given. A.Q. wanted the region radicalized and in turmoil, what better way to do it then have the U.S. come in and stomp around?
I'll concede they may have wanted Iraq to fall.. But it's not logical to expect that outcome by crashing planes into the World Trade Centers.
Do you really think they wanted even more American presence, influence and control, when that's the exact thing that made Bin Laden turn into a dissident?
I emplore you to explain how or what the terrorists gained from 9/11, from where I'm standing, they are severely in deficit in multiple aspects. As should be expected.
