Hi everyone! Have you noticed how many references there are to Bush and/or the U.S. government being behind the 9/11 attacks in popular culture? Films, books, television shows, video games, etc. Whatever one's opinion - it's hard not to notice that this idea has made it into our collective unconscious. I am collecting examples of this for a school project, can anyone think of any? I am not looking for conspiracy theories or real-life accounts - only examples from fiction that resemble real-life events.

If you want fiction, just examine bush's reasons for invading Iraq and Afghanistan.

There's a rap song by Jadakiss that has these lines:
"Why would n-ggas push pounds and powder?
Why did bush knock down the towers?"

And then also there's a French computer game called “Act of War” coming out this year. The plot has the oligarchs of the world fighting over oil, the U.S. wins, terrorists attack and kidnap Senators and stuff. Your player is in the U.S. army – the aim is to fight the terrorists off. Towards the end of the game it’s revealed that the U.S. government is behind the terrorists. Here's the link, let me know if this is what you're looking for. And if any of you have downloaded the demo, let me know how it is! My computer is too old to run it

Eh, I don't think they actually believe that, but whats a better story, fiction or reality?

The bigger the conspiracy, the bigger the draw.
