I think you are being a tad dramatic (or ignorant of history) there.

In the last century we had:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II

Clocking up a spectacular 100 million deaths combined.

How is 9/11 the biggest event in the history of mankind?

It's not as big as those, but it deserves to be included in that list....

Whilst it is not the biggest event, it has shaped events later on. Look at Iraq and Afghanistan, would they have happened if 9/11 didn't?

Plus, would our current attitudes towards a certain religion be as it is without what happened then?

I said ONE OF IF NOT, basically meaning it depends on personal opinion and the way you look at the situation.

Again, I said ONE OF IF NOT. 9/11 was something that we have never really seen happen before and on that day, I said this will change our lives forever (as in the way we approach terroism etc) and to this day, I still believe that.

Shawty - You have been asked this time and time again - Stop SHOUTING in your posts or your posts will get deleted.

9/11 is a historic event, I can't see any way it was the biggest by a long way. It has affected our future and will continue to do so in the way these things work, but then you can take it further and speculate that the events of 9/11 came about after the cold war, which came out of WW2 which came out of WW1

These are all interconnected events that shape and continue to shape our world and 9/11 was another landmark on the way.

so... why are you asking as well?

If you're going to take part in a thread which suggests a conspiracy has taken place then you will obviously get people who disagree that it was anything other than what it appeared to be.

This should get interesting..........................

I think it was conspiracy between Xenu and Elvis, when you think about it (and by which I mean "when you don't really think about it") it makes perfect sense.

And another historic event which killed way more people than 9/11:

The Boxing Day Tsunami on Boxing Day 2004, caused approx. 230,000 deaths and many more injuries

But back on the subject in question - why would you bother flying a plane into the Pentagon? What would be the point?

For the same reason you would fly two planes into the World Trade skyscrapers I presume.

Well - yeah - to kill of course but I meant - why would Bush decide to cover it up by.....flying a plane into the Pentagon at the same time...

Suppose that's the million dollar question....

Now you're looking for logical reasons for why something happened - big mistake (imho).
