Something I find very hard to understand is the tendency of conspiracy theorists to immediately implicate the United States. It makes sense to ignore contrary evidence - a lack of trust adds the 'conspiracy' to the theory. It makes sense to attempt to critically analyze both the event and the reportings of the event. However, the explanation of who is responsible for this vast and mind-bogglingly complex plot is always assumed, and never explained.
I'm thinking of the 'Loose Change' video in particular, though this can be said of pretty much any popular conspiracy. It takes three seconds and Google to immediately debunk their claims, but I understand that people don't habitually seek evidence, nor are they taught how to think rationally. It's a failing of the education system, really.
But, for the sake of argument, let's say I agree with their claims of 9/11 being a controlled demolition covered by fake planes. Now where is the link to the US? Is it the only country that has access to explosives? Is it unique in the production of planes? What would inhibit any other nation from doing this?
It annoys me when I'm presented with highly paranoid and meticulous research, only to be asked that I leap over this huge gap of logic. I enjoy these things because they are so bizarrely concocted and presented; I enjoy the fabrications and the coincidences utilized to establish whatever point is at hand. Why does this highly-focused, detail-oriented machine fall apart at the finish line?
The only sensible explanation would be that the conspirator is an American nationalist. They believe that the American government is amazingly and meticulously organized, and that it is capable of amazing acts of elabourate deception. It's unthinkable that any other government would be able to do this - it's not even presented as an option. As we all know, other nations only exists in a strange fantasy land with moon-money and unicorns. I wish I had that much faith in government.
