Nobody sets things up so that their country is attacked, not unless they're double-agents. Even Hitler, the biggest bastard in history, just faked an invasion of Germany to start a war with Poland. He didn't wait for Polish Partisans to do something. That would be trusting his plan's outcome to his enemies, which is exactly what our government would have been doing.
I really think the Bush administration could have lied its way into a war with Iraq with or without the attacks, or I think that was their policy. It would have taken longer, but if that was one of there keystone policies, and they were willing to lie enough, they could have done it.
It doesn't make any sense in other ways that they would have allowed the attack. If for no other reason than there were some extremely important, wealthy businesses in those buildings. At least a couple of one percenters were killed.
