Also, I would like to add, what about the proof of thermite and molten iron found at the base of the 3rd building that was demolished that day, and keep in mind, that WTC was made to with stand 23,000 gallons of jet fuel, how does 10,000 melt the stell almost in an hour, is it that you dont want to have the idea that there is more than just "pissed off arabs" that the media loved to point their fingers at? and james, you present some very, very interesting questions indeedguitarshr3dd3r
No offense, but there are so many things that are incorrect here that I'm not sure where to begin.
Thermite and molten iron was not found at the base of the third building. What was found was sulfur, and conspiracy theorists conveniently leave out the very next line from the person making mention of this fact, which is that it most likely came from the thousands of pieces of burning computer equipment. Furthermore, thermite is a very volatile chemical; it does not cause the clean cuts that were been observed at Ground Zero. Finally, to cause, with thermite, the amount of structural damage in images like this one you would need... how much? About 18,000 pounds of thermite. That's 18,000 pounds of thermite that they would have had to get into the tower and set up without anyone ever noticing a thing.
As for molten iron, a popular image claimed to depict such a thing is this one:

Anyone familiar with the basic law of thermal convection, however, will know that this is completely bunk, and that there is no way they could stand that close to molten iron. In reality, this is simply depicting what was basically a very strong flashlight.
Next, no one has claimed that the steel in the building was melted by the jet fuel. What the jet fuel did was weaken the steel sufficiently to cause total structural failure, and jet fuel absolutely does burn hot enough for this to be possible.
