I'm sure at least one vulture capitalist organization operated out of the WTC at the time.

I was actually thinking about this after posting. We do know that our government has been fucking with most of the world and especially the third world for decades before this and that there is some reap what you sow elements. I mean two wrongs don't make a right but anyone who thinks we did not start what lead to this is naive at best.

Yeah I'm not justifying terrorism and murder in any way but there's definitely a reason Al Quaeda targeted these specific buildings. They stood for America's imperialistic capitalism and taking them down was a very clear statement.
