9-11 Conspiracy Theory - Made Me Think

I just saw a movie about a conspiracy surrounding the 9-11 tragedy.
Here's the link to the movie:911 Loose Change Second Edition

Although I'm not completely convinced, it made me think.

My family migrated here to the US because this is the land of opportunity and free speech. Coming from a country that used to be under a dictator, it's not hard for me to believe that a government and a large group of people can conspire to do such a thing. I remember, during my grade and high school (mid '70s to early '80s) Social Studies courses, we were being taught (brainwashed) that our country was a democracy, but then when you open almanacs that were published outside of the country, they all say that the country was a dictatorship. We were not allowed to question this discrepancy. Just think of how much power a government has to be able to get schools, teachers and the media to spread such propaganda. It's not until I got to college that my eyes opened.

Before the country became a dictatorship, it was a democratic state. It was when the current president decided that he did not want to relinquish his position of power that it changed. He started a war against the Muslims in the southern part of the country. The reason for the war is terrorism. The president and the people around him exploded bombs and blamed it on the Muslims. The president then declared “Martial Law”. The country was under martial law for more than a decade and the rest is history.

This movie just made me think of the similarities.
