One thing that puzzles me is if the US govenment created 9/11 as a pretext to going to war with Iraq and Afghanistan, why wouldn't they say the hijackers were from those countries? Why from countries that are US allies, like Egypt and Saudi Arabia?

Mayby because they also said that the passed security and stuff, so If the hijackers came from saud and egypt, they would be more likely to walk passed security. And to fly to the U.S.

I think on this matter it doesn't make a difference what nationality they were. People can be influenced wherever they come from, whatever background they have.

Interesting point. why not have the hijackers come from Iran, Syria, and Iraq? would have been perfect for the PNAC Middle East goals. Instead there were from supposed "friends" of the USA. Its little things like this that make me think the truth is somewhere between the official story and the 9-11 Truth Movemant. I tend to lean on the side of an Al Qaeda-Bush conspiracy...or at the very least...Bush knew about the plan and let it occur.

The pretext for war on Afghanistan was that 'Al Qaida' had their base there etc. As for the war on Iraq, the pretext was 'weapons of mass destruction'. Furthermore, the alledged perpetrators of 9/11 were portrayed as practicing muslims, which promotes suspicion of all muslims world wide, especially those devout ones who fight for freedom in places like Kashmir [and have got nothing to do with 'international terrorism']. These type of muslims get in the way when it comes to installing puppet governments in muslim lands (for the sake of exploitation of resources etc.).
