The truthers have argued that the US government were involved in 9/11 because the US government benefited enormously from the attack. 9/11 gave the US government a reason to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. In addition the attack gave the US government an excuse to attack civil liberties and introduce draconian legislation such as the Patriot Act.
How valid is this argument? Was a major terrorist attack necessary to justify invading Afghanistan and Iraq and would the invasions have happened without 9/11? Would the US government have been able to introduce the Patriot Act without an event like 9/11?
