I am not going to lock this thread, at least not yet. I don't think the flaming has gotten out of hand and it's not off topic. After all, you can't discuss Flight 93 without discussing 9/11.

As for a missile hitting the Pentagon, it's certainly plausible. I love a good conspiracy theory and this one was very well done, what with the flash presentation with the creepy music and all. However, I began to wonder why this story hadn't picked up any attention in the mainstream media. Bush's approval rating is in the toilet and papers such as the Washington Post and New York Times are clamoring for the final nail to drive into his coffin. So I began to wonder if this was really a cover up or if there were problems with the missile theory. Here's what I found:

An engineer and physicist refute the missile theory.
The missile theory refuted on Snopes.
Al Qaeda admits responsibility for 9/11 attacks.
USA Today - Conspiracy film rewrites 9/11

Now I'm not saying a missile didn't hit the Pentagon, but if one is truly keep an open mind, one should consider the above.

There's also ANOTHER conspiracy theory that claims the missile theory is disinformation propogated by the White House in order to keep people from questioning how an airliner got into restricted airspace with no opposition. The site claims the government was complicit in the 9/11 attacks in order to a launch a war for oil. I am not going to link to that site because it is ugly and poorly designed. PM me if you really want the link.

Cattivo, I don't want to make you break your word or draw you back into this thread, but I just want to let you know I agree with you about revisionist/alarmist history. Your avatar reminds me of some particularly insidious Cold War era idiocy. There were anti-Reagan critics who tried to make a huge deal out of his age and worked themselves into a fervor because they believed Reagan was senile and could push us into mutually assured destruction at any given moment. However, these same people were willing to ignore the fact that before Gorbachev rose to power, the Soviet Union had had a string of ailing old premiers who were rarely ever seen in public and at least one of whom was comatose at one point. Yes, the same people who were so quick to be afraid of what Reagan might do with nuclear weapons at his command were not at all concerned with who was controlling the Soviet stockpile. In fact, many of them will tell you that Soviet Russia was not so bad. I once had a World History professor who told of she visited Russia in the 80s and how nice it was. In the middle of this story, she also casually mentioned how she smuggled jeans into the country to sell on the black market. Yeah, some paradise. I'd LOVE to visit a country where jeans were worthy of the black market.
