i have a very meat and potatoes reading of the 9/11 events - that the attacks were a consequence of US foreign policy initiatives in the middle east going as far back as the 1950s. i'm not exactly sure how that works into an eventual reconciliation of views with a conspiracy theory position, but in my view, its irreconcilable.
