Well, between the new "bigoted-and-proud" stands of the NDP and their leader to these documentaries, I think we're living in a part of the world that is still a little too insulated from some cold hard truths and lessons that the people of the United States started to learn on 9/11.
Any Canadian that's dumb enough to think that not only should we not be worried about Al-Qaeda/terrorist attack simply because we're "not Americans" (the new define-in-the-negative left version of Canadian culture) but that we should be negotiating with these people need only speak to the people in Madrid, London, or New York City. . . hardly hardcore areas of right wingedness . . . yet all prime targets for people who simply hate pluralism and the west in general.
The 9/11 conspiracies all involve assumptions of mass collusion amongst all the Bush Administration, the Republicans leadership, the Democrats, all sides of the Brits' defence committee, all the major engineering societies' of the world & their expert panels who investigated all the crashes, etc etc etc . . .
I spent part of the summer specifically reading through all the expert material and data to see if there was any merit to these claims and ultimately very easily debunked just about all of it, leaving the rest as astronomical and massive implausibilities. The only reason these whack jobs are even given airtime is because there are television producers and journalists who so very very very very much despise the Americans (and especially their current president) and believe that even the tarnishing of the memories of the people lost on 9/11 is worth it in order to cook up some more doubts on the guy they love to hate.
One doesn't need to love or even remotely like Bush or his administration to believe that 9/11 actually happened and to know who was responsible. I've met people who were there. I've read a fair bit on this.
People should inform themselves. By that, I mean they should consider a news source other than somebody who is a 55 year old folklore/theatre major who believes that 90% of the top politicians in the OECD are oil-worshipping freemasons who desire 'only to feed the war machine maaann'. . . .
Read the 9/11 commission report. Heck, even Al-Jazeera isn't retarded enough to float some of the theroies that Moore and co tried to float. . . .
My recommendations for a quick decently-sourced primer in response to the 9/11 critics would be "Farenhype 911" with Dick Morris and Ron Silver and others, and follow that up by a look at a few of these:
